Inspiring. The end of the BBC piece:

Mr Ferguson is a World War Two veteran who took part in the Burma Campaign, in which Allied forces defeated the Japanese.

He still wakes up six days a week at 07:00 but lays in “a little bit” on Sundays.

Despite being well past retirement age, Mr Ferguson still plays an active part in the business and regularly travels to Manchester to buy new stock.

“I’ve enjoyed my life, it’s been very good,” he said.

“And I’ve got a good family, I have got some wonderful people, we’re all friends together.”
