HE'S HELPED raise more than £50,000 for injured veterans.
Now it was Roy King's turn to be on the receiving end of the kind of thoughtfulness he's always shown to others.
A group of professional entertainers put on a performance on behalf of the Not Forgotten Association for Roy, who lives at Fairmile Grange care home in Christchurch, to thank him for his fund-raising efforts.
At the age of 18 Roy joined the RAF as an aircraft electrician in Transport Command in Abingdon, where he stayed until he was 23. A few years later, in 1979, he moved to Bournemouth and joined the Royal British Legion in 2000. Following this, in 2006 he became a fundraiser for The Not Forgotten Association, which is supported by the Royal British Legion and a range of other causes.
The show was performed by Mickie Driver, who has performed at Windsor Castle, where he helped celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.
Andrea Davey, wellbeing assistant of Fairmile Grange, said: “Roy has achieved so many wonderful things over the years, it was lovely to see him being appreciated by so many friends."
