Rishi Sunak Instagram – Meet John.
John Farringdon is 110 years old. He’s one of the world’s oldest people. And he lives in Warwickshire.
John is a big fan of politics, and a lifelong Conservative. He tells me I’m the 23rd person to serve as Prime Minister during his long life.
When I heard John was visiting Parliament last week, I made sure to invite him to 10 Downing Street, because he’d always wanted to but never had the chance.
Can you imagine doing something for the first time at 110 years old?
John told me he worked for Ford for over 40 years, and whilst there made tank parts for the Army during the war. My first car was a Ford Escort – so we had a lot to chat about. He’s still a car enthusiast, having given up driving only 5 years ago!
No matter how much is going on I’ll always make time to meet people like John. Because John embodies what it means to be British, and I’m proud to have made another memory for him here at Downing Street.
Thanks to the staff of Cubbington Mill Care Home for looking after him so well and to @jeremy.wright01 for the introduction. | Posted on 04/Dec/2023 16:56:06
