Eastbourne RAF veteran celebrates centenary in lockdown
The green-fingered centenarian served as a anti-aircraft gunner in the far east before becoming a groundsman in some of Eastbourne’s most loved gardens.
Joseph Bainbridge Elliott was born March 16 1921, in Houghton-le-Spring Durham.
Joe enjoyed his school years and received a thorough education, but was unable to accept a place at a grammar school as the uniform was too expensive.
