The Queen’s former Bargemaster turned 102 on Wednesday and can look back on an amazing life of heroism and service.
For 12 years, D-Day veteran Major Ted Hunt was a familiar figure as the Queen’s Bargemaster, in his scarlet tunic and black cap, at major royal and state occasions.
His duties included escorting visiting heads of state and being responsible for transporting the crown at state openings of Parliament.
