“He said to refuse a vaccine was like crossing the road without looking both ways first – I don’t think I could put it better myself,” said Mr Loughton.

“Fantastic to meet him and to witness the brilliant hard work of everyone involved with the vaccine rollout. I’m incredibly grateful to The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans for arranging this visit for Major Ted and countless other veterans. Thank you.”
