Enfield Dispatch has published a report about the 105th birthday celebrations of Donald Howkins , who lives at Elsyng House in Forty Hill and is one of the last surviving British veterans of the D-Day landings.

The report ends:

"Upon returning to England after the war, Donald resumed his career as a butcher, bringing up three children with his wife, Dorothy, in Winchmore Hill. His business Buckingham & Partners had shops in Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green and Edmonton prior to its closure in 1992, when Donald decided to retire. Dorothy sadly died in 2004."
