it's been 77 years since the end of WW2. are any WW2 veterans - of either side - still alive?
Like the one that just got clapped in parliament and set off a shit storm in the process, you mean?
Yes. They are like 100 years old but that was a big war and so that's still a lot of people. If you go to remembrance day ceremonies there's usually going to be one or two hunched over guy there.
