Title: Patrick Moore's "sons"
Post by: Fay on Dec 17, 2012, 22:31:08
An article from Daily Mail on the 3 boys Patrick Moore treated as his sons. He "adopted" them after they lost their father.

Just goes to prove what a really great man he was ... and one of those who really reserved his knighthood.

Yes, a very uplifting article.
I love the way they gave him "one for the road".
