It's not every day you get to meet your heroes, but for many who attended Alf Ridpath's 100th birthday celebrations, that's exactly what happened.
For Liverpool born Wing Commander, Chrissy Ashton, it was the equivalent of a die-hard Liverpool fan "meeting Jurgen Klopp". Alfred Ridpath was born December 10, 1922, and has lived in the same house in West Derby since leaving the RAF in 1947.
However, now struggling with dementia and with no surviving family - his wife Joan died over 10-years ago and his only son, David, died last year - it would be easy for Alf's story to become lost. Except, his friends don't want that to happen.
