More than 100 people turned out for the funeral of an RAF veteran in the UK who died with no known family, following a social media appeal. The group Veterans Honoured posted an online plea for mourners to attend his funeral, and a Facebook appeal was launched. Alan Scott, of the St Ives branch of the Royal British Legion, said that very little was known about Mr White. Her brother was aged 38 at the time, and she wore his medals to Mr White's funeral. "Kenneth was reported as not having a family which is wrong, as he's got the military family," she said.
