THE daughters of Sir Captain Tom Moore are hoping to pay tribute to their father by planting trees.
Eldest daughter Lucy Teixeira, who lives in Caversham, has started an online fundraising page called Trees For Tom.
The campaign has partnered with two charities, the Woodland Trust and TreeSisters.
Capt Tom, a veteran who raised almost £39 million for NHS charities by walking laps of his garden, died on February 2, aged 100, after contracting coronavirus.
Mrs Teixeira said: “So many people have been asking if they can send flowers or make a donation in his memory. We wanted to find a way for everyone to come together, something that would feel a very personal gesture, something more lasting than sending cut flowers, something that would be dear to his heart.
