gent

“One of the gents has said on many occasions if he wasn’t in the group he wouldn’t be here now – the group has saved his life.”

Earlier, on the way into her village, we drove past a jodhpur-clad gent on a horse, who gave us a roguish, charming smile.

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for — “The Greatest Showman” is coming to the stage.

Tributes paid after his death said he was “larger than life” and a “true gent” who was always smiling.

I was reminded of a gent I met a couple of years ago while researching my book on retirement.
