What a sad and funny life story!
Well, leastwise "Lord Alfred" became 77 years old.
A safe last journey to him πŸŒˆβ€‹ and may he have a good everlasting sleep.

The real man here was allowed to leave the airport and even offered French citizenship multiple times, all of which he refused because he demanded to become a UK citizen.
