Walter Mitty 'Knight' ditched by charity over dodgy Falklands war record and knighthood

A Walter Mitty “Knight” has been ditched by a charity after failing to answer questions over his dodgy past.

Artist ‘Sir’ John Damari was accused of “weaving tales” after claims that he received a knighthood from Prince Charles and was a Falklands war hero.
