Henry Allingham quotes:

Seeing the funny side of life is useful, and I've always had a sense of humour.

I had 53 years of happy marriage and two daughters. These were the best things that happened in my life.

I've only ever kissed one girl: my Dorothy. We met in 1915 and married in 1918. She died in 1970.

When I was born, the speed limit was two miles an hour. They'd only just repealed the law where a man had to walk in front of every motor car waving a flag.

How have I lived so long? I never worried. In the '20s, there were millions of men out of work. You couldn't get a job anywhere. I wasn't worried.
