Mourners watch as the hearse carrying the coffin of WWI Veteran William Stone drives away from the church following the funeral service at St Leonard's Church in Watlington near Henley on Thames on January 29, 2009. William Stone, one of just four surviving British veterans of World War I, died on January 10, 2009 at the age of 108. Stone served 27 years with Britain's Royal Navy, spanning both world wars and was among three veterans who attended ceremonies in central London last November to mark the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I, along with Henry Allingham, 112, and Harry Patch, 110.
