A few years ago I found a post about a man named Norman, aged 106 as of April 2021, who reunited with his daughter after time apart due to lockdown restrictions.
I tried looking for more information on him for a few years to no avail. However, as it turns out, he is actually somewhat notable: film producer Norman Spencer, born 13 August 1914, which would make him the fourth-oldest living man in the UK.
Yeah - Rob and I had been puzzled on this one for some time until I finally identified him today by chance after seeing a post on an unrelated forum. Very nice to finally have another 1914-born UK man confirmed living (at least up to the end of September last year).

The unfortunate news about the passing of Ronald Naylor means Norman Spencer now occupies spot #3, and we are down to just two known men from 1914.
Hopefully Norman is doing well.
A man named John (not yet sure of his surname) living in Gillingham, Dorset, turned 107 at the end of August:
Incredibly, this means that 5 of the 11 oldest known living men in the UK go by the name John.
