“A soldier who fought in the Second World War has revealed that she's decided to live as a woman at the age of 90, after a lifetime of denying her true gender.
Patricia Davies, from a village in Leicestershire, says she has known since the age of three that she was female but lived in fear that coming out would see her ostracised from her family, community or even land her in jail.
Despite being open with her late wife 30 years ago, Patricia - born Peter - decided to continue to live in the closet after teenagers spotted her wearing women's shoes and hurled eggs at her home.
