Captain Sir Tom Moore
Boris Johnson has announced a national clap will take place tonight to show appreciation for the life of Captain Sir Tom Moore.
The Prime Minister said Captain Sir Tom dedicated his life to serving others, and encouraged people to join in a national clap in memory of him.
Mr Johnson told the Commons: We all now have the opportunity to show our appreciation for him and all that he stood for and believed in.
The Clap for Tom event will be held following the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore. Clapping for heroes started during the pandemic when people across the UK took to their doorsteps and clapped for NHS staff and other key workers. Now, people want to revive the symbolic gesture to show appreciation for Captain Sir Tom Moore. The World War Two veteran brought cheer and joy to the nation during the first national lockdown back in March, when he raised over £32m for NHS Charities together by walking 100 laps of his garden. Sadly, earlier this week he died at the age of 100 in Bedford Hospital after being admitted for Covid-19.
