A 94-year-old war veteran has told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live about the moment he was given a cushion with a picture of his late wife by a carer. Ken Benbow slept with a photograph of his wife Ada by his bed at his care home in Preston. He and Ada were married for 71 years. Carer Kia Tobin, 17, knew how much he missed her and had the cushion printed. "They turned it over and I saw my darling wife's picture... it was beautiful, I couldn't have wished for anything better!" he told 5 Live Breakfast.
