Is there any news regarding how advanced his illness is?

It's a cruel condition. My gran suffered from it in the last few years of her life, and it was like a stranger who looked exactly like her. She didn't know who were, as time went on. It affects the family most of all: my gran didn't know there was anything wrong with her, which was a blessing, but it's a terrifying thought you could end up like that.
Just read the BBC article and it sounds quite advanced - he doesn't speak now. I think the family have decided to speak out now as he's probably expected at loads of 50th anniversary do's and clearly he won't make it.

Horrible illness.
