An inspirational life in pictures: We pay tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore of Bedford

His legacy will live on

As tributes pour in all over the world to our very own NHS hero, we remember how the staggering story unfolded last year.

Captain Sir Tom Moore was an inspiration to many as the country struggled with the very first lockdown last year.

He pledged to walk 100 lengths of his 50 metre-long garden in Marston Moretaine before his 100th birthday and donate 100 per cent of the funds to the NHS.

Although a modest fundraising target of £1,000 was set, the war veteran raised a phenomenal £33million - and of course the rest his history.

Captain Sir Tom Moore, we salute you.
