|July 04, 2025
A WAR veteran celebrating his 106th birthday has revealed the secret to his long life — eating custard every day.
Great-great-grandfather Leslie Lemon favours Bird’s but always has a tin of ready-made Ambrosia for emergencies.
Leslie, from Aylesbury, Bucks, said: “The secret to a long life is custard. Rhubarb from the garden and custard. I eat it every day. I prefer it cold. It’s nice in a trifle. You can’t beat it.

“I usually have the powder but I’ve got ready-made Ambrosia in the pantry for emergencies. You should always have a pudding.”
