Now after this news I can't say again that this is a great month for England, they lost their country's second oldest man, the first time I saw John Farringdon he reminded me of one of my favorite actors Michael Caine, as he looked similar to him, curiously they are both from England and Caine is 20 years younger than Farringdon.
Rest in peace Mr Farringdon, you had an amazing life.
