00:00There's some lovely detail about the end of Ajik's life you mention.
00:06Yes, I could have said more.
00:08Oh, tell.
00:10But, yes, well, I mean, the night before he died, you know,
00:12he went along his zim of fame to the oak room,
00:15which was that room which was above the entrance
00:18out of which the Queen used to,
00:19and where her car came out for the funeral.
00:22And he found having a beer all by himself.
00:25You say he'd given his nurses the slip.
00:26Yeah, he gave his nurses the slip.
00:28He did not want to live to be 100.
00:30And he just slipped away.
00:31He got up, I think he had a bath, and didn't feel well,
00:34and lay down, and that was it.
00:37Why didn't he want to live to 100?
00:39He didn't want to be celebrated.
00:41No, he absolutely did not.
00:42And if you remember, nothing was planned for it.
00:45Had he been well enough, I suspect that all that you would have seen
00:49is him going to church.
00:50Now, he did go to church for his 80th and 90th birthdays.
00:54And for his 90th birthdays, his family came from all over the world,
00:59from Canada, from Germany, and they all, their line was,
01:04it was just so nice that he was there,
01:06and they could celebrate that with him,
01:08because very often they come over for a funeral.
01:10But in this case, he was there.
01:12And he had, I can't remember now, offhand,
01:13but about 120 of them.
