Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-27634576

About 400 mourners have attended the funeral of a World War Two veteran from Sheffield who had no surviving family.

Former RAF officer George Thompson served as a bomber pilot and later as a night fighter pilot flying in Burma.

The 96-year-old died in a care home on 14 May.

The Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) Rotherham issued an appeal for people to attend Mr Thompson's funeral, saying he deserved "a decent send-off".

Aw, I'm glad so many turned up, I did see the appeal in the paper but hadn't seen how many had turned out. Well done to them and RIP mr Thompson

It's nice to see that people are still decent when it's needed. We're so busy these day's tied up in our social networking and smartphones so nice that some complete stranger's took time to pay respect to a forgotten hero.

Rip
