He really doesn’t look well on that photo compared to those taken earlier last year. He looks so tired and frail. He doesn’t even look well enough for a trip out to a U.K. local beach, let alone one in the Caribbean. What were his family thinking?? Look at his little face. He must have found the whole journey and holiday so gruelling and tiring.
He did a wonderful thing with his 100 laps and he will be remembered very fondly for that. However, I feel he has been pushed too far at his grand old age. All those TV interviews, photo shoots, journeys away from home, dealing with strangers, magazines, newspapers, daily intrusion. That would be too much for people half his age. He should have been resting in his 100th year, not being here there and everywhere. He must’ve have been exhausted and he looks it in that photo on the plane.
I find it incredibly sad that the very thing he was trying to raise awareness of and prevent has led to his own demise, either indirectly or directly. RIP Sir Tom.
