Gilbert Clarke, a 99-year-old RAF veteran, had his voice featured in London's New Year's fireworks, marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a significant moment for his family.
The family arranged to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks live from Newham Hospital, allowing Gilbert to experience the event despite recovering from health issues.
Gilbert's son expressed that it was a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to be part of the fireworks display and praised Newham Hospital for accommodating their family.
The moment lifted Gilbert's spirits significantly, with his grandson Nathan noting that his grandad was much happier by the end of their hospital visit.
