Harry Leslie Smith: 'World's oldest rebel' dies aged 95

Harry Leslie Smith, a second world war veteran and anti-poverty activist who described himself as "the world's oldest rebel", has died at the age of 95.

His son John confirmed his death at the Belleville General Hospital in Ontario, Canada.

In a message posted to Harry's Twitter account on Wednesday, John wrote to more than 250,000 followers: "At 3:39 this morning, my dad Harry Leslie Smith died. I am an orphan. #istandwithharry"

Born in 1923, Smith grew up in poverty in northern England and served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the second world war.

As a young soldier, he witnessed the floods of refugees across Europe abandoning their homes in the hope of finding safety.

Smith's greatest concern in 2018 was for the millions of refugees today fleeing war, persecution or poverty.

This is a sad loss. I followed him on twitter and he was so inspiring.
