A few years ago, Edward came across Blind Veterans UK.
A wonderful charity, often overlooked, providing support services and organising various events for blind veterans. Run by some really wonderful people.
As he was a veteran of the Royal Air Force, and registered blind, he joined up.
He 'thoroughly enjoyed' the meetings and dinners, and 'thoroughly looked forward' to the next one.
In lieu of flowers at his funeral, or if you'd like to make a donation in Edward's memory, you can find the donation page of their website here:
