Captain Sir Tom Moore really needs no introductions. Despite serving in the Army as a member of the Royal Armoured Corps from 1941 to 1946, he is best known for his achievements in his later years. At the age of 99, he set out to raise £1000 for NHS Charities (a group of charities supporting staff, volunteers and patients during the global Covid-19 pandemic) by walking just 100 laps of his garden – all before his 100th birthday only 24 days later.

Little did he know, he would soon become a household name and would raise over £32 million from 1.5 million supporters. Inspiring the nation and winning the hearts of millions, his 99th year was nothing short of greatness, filled with opportunities, adventures and celebrations. From being the oldest man featured on GQ and receiving the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, to being featured on the cover version of the song ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ sung by Michael Ball achieving a number 1 in the charts, he was also honoured for his achievements personally by the Queen and given the title of Sir, to just name a few.

Now remembered as a national treasure and hero, he will be remembered for his achievements and for bringing the nation together during its darkest time.
