Dr Raymond Bird died on Thursday 30th January 2025. He was 101 and a half years old.

After a full and varied life his eyesight and hearing diminished and he developed dementia. His wish was always to stay in his own home. He was supported in this by Age UK. They found a lovely local lady who initially acted as a befriender and latterly as a weekly shopper and generally was on hand to help keep Raymond living in his own home.

Through their 24-hour Advice Line, friendship services and campaigning, Age UK is changing lives so every older person feels included and valued.
