British centenarian Captain Tom Moore, who raised millions of pounds for the NHS by walking laps of his garden in last year's lockdown, has been admitted to hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, his daughter has said.
The World War Two veteran caught the imagination of the British public last April, just before his 100th birthday, when he was filmed doing laps with the help of a walking frame around his garden in the village of Marston Moretaine, north of London.
He hoped to raise £1,000 pounds. Instead, he raised more than £30 million for the National Health Service, broke two Guinness world records, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, scored a No.
