Captain Tom Moore, the British World War Two veteran who raised over £38.9 million for health service workers on the frontline of the battle against COVID-19, has died aged 100, his family said on Tuesday, the Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore,” his daughters said in a statement.
Moore struck a chord with locked-down Britain by walking around his garden with the help of a walking frame to raise 38.9 million pounds for the National Health Service.
