Description

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales speech on behalf of six charities for the elderly at Westminster Central Hall making an impassioned plea on behalf of Britain’s pensioners. He fears for pensioners who’ve missed out on the recent prosperity the majority in this country have benefited from and calls for improved pensions and for the young to take more interest in the old, who he says often feel lonely because they live separate lives in the community.
