Capt Sir Tom Moore: WWII veteran who walked into record books

London (AFP)
Captain Sir Tom Moore, who has died aged 100, became a national hero in Britain by walking laps of his garden during last year s coronavirus lockdown to raise funds for healthcare charities.
By the end of the feat, the World War II veteran had raised a record-breaking £33 million ($45 million, 37.4 million euros).
But when he set out on his sponsored walk, Moore s aim was modest: to raise £1,000 as a thank you for the treatment he received for skin cancer and a broken hip.
He set a goal of completing 100 lengths of his 25-metre (82-foot) garden in Marston Moretaine, between Bedford and Milton Keynes in southern England, by the time of his 100th birthday.
