Captain Sir Tom Moore, the war veteran who raised almost £33m for NHS charities during the coronavirus lockdown in spring 2020, has died aged 100 after testing positive for coronavirus.
His daughters Hannah and Lucy confirmed Moore’s death in a statement. Moore was treated for pneumonia over the past few weeks and last week tested positive for Covid-19.
Moore won the nation's hearts last April by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday, raising £33 million during the first national lockdown.
In a statement, Moore's family said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore.
