Not being from England, I had no idea about the pensioners or that they live where the show takes place. You managed to find a charming gentleman to interview making this both informative and entertaining to read. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Gretchen, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’d love to publish the audio of the interview - I think you’d find his Yorkshire vernacular to be incredibly charming - but sadly Chelsea has an exclusivity deal with the BBC for all audio and video coverage, during and after the event!

My name is Clive Woodhouse, i am 67 and have always called the Chelsea Pensioner Gentleman in this article Uncle Peter and his wife Aunt Ronah...Best friends of my Mum and Dad since late teenage years if my memory serves me right...Wonderful people who are now together again and whom all our family have and still love so dearly...We didn't know this article existed and are grateful for it to come to us this Boxing day 2024 adding new memories to cherish alongside so many held in our hearts. Thankyou so much Dan Masoliver...👌❤️
