A WWII veteran who said the secret to his long life was eating custard every day has died, at the age of 106. Great-great grandfather Leslie Lemon, from Aylesbury, Bucks., died over the weekend just a few days after celebrating his birthday.
Mr Lemon made national news earlier this month for his habit of eating custard every day – favouring Bird’s and adding rhubarb to it. As for his advice for growing older, Mr Lemon, who was born on July 1, 1919, had said: “Everything in moderation.
“I’m so lucky and I’m quite happy.”
Mr Lemon had also been honoured with a year’s supply of free custard from Asda which is family will now donate to a local foodbank.
