<strong>The last leaf on a tree was feeling lonely and sad rather than proud and strong, it emerged today.</strong>

Larry, an oak leaf from Felixstowe in Suffolk, confirmed he hated being on his own and desperately wanted to be with his perished family on the ground.



He said: "Everyone assumes that because I clung on longer than everyone else, I would be happy with my achievement.

"But the reality is very different because it's desperately lonely. I know I am going to die soon anyway, so I'd just like to get on with it.

"I can see all my dead brothers and sisters down their on the grass. They seem so at peace; I want to be with them again."

Moments later a gust of wind came off the North Sea and, with a gentle wobble, Larry broke away from the twig that has been his fountain of life since April.

"I'm finally freeeeeeeeeeee," he whispered to our reporter as he drifted slowly to oblivion on the ground.

Larry leaves no family. He was seven months old.
