Last veteran of Hood sinking dies
Tedd Briggs was only 18-years-old during the Battle of Denmark Strait
The last remaining survivor of the sinking of WWII battle cruiser HMS Hood in May 1941 has died at the age of 85, his naval association has said.
Ted Briggs, from Hampshire, was one of just three survivors out of more than 1,400 crew after an exchange of fire with the German battleship Bismarck.
