Captain Tom Moore is celebrating his 100th birthday at home with his family after a whirlwind few weeks in which he has achieved global praise and raised almost £30 million for the NHS.
The World War II veteran set out to walk 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday today and has far exceeded his initial fundraising target of £1,000.
His determination captured the world's attention and after completing 100 lengths he decided to continue. A Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast of a Spitfire and a Hurricane has been organised by the RAF to mark Capt Moore's birthday, and he has been appointed as an honorary colonel of the Army Foundation College.
