When enlisting in the RAF, Mr Spratt met fellow 18-year-old Roy Briggs, who he went on to befriend and even attend his 100th birthday in March.: "I enrolled, I think March '43 and there was a chap standing alongside of me and [we] sort of shrugged shoulders to sort of say 'what we doing here?'.

"Anyway, we got called up and low and behold there was Roy standing next to me and we became friends and the friendship is still going, 82 years."It's almost a Guinness World Record!"After enlisting, the pair were asked to report to Lord's Cricket Ground in London.

Mr Briggs said: "As I got to Lord's Cricket Ground I saw you [Mr Spratt] coming along the road so I waited for you and we went in. We had our injections together."Mr Spratt was the best man at Mr Briggs' wedding and the pair, who were born a week apart, still visit and video call each other.
