Hundreds of strangers turned out on Thursday (February 7) to say a final farewell to one of Britain’s most decorated war heroes after he died with no surviving family.

Bomb aimer Jim Auton, MBE, who was awarded 19 medals for his brave RAF exploits during the Second World War, passed away aged 95 on January 18.

He was believed to have been the last British survivor of the Warsaw Air Bridge, the perilous operation to drop supplies to fighters of the Warsaw Uprising.
