Toddlers from a Havering nursery paid their respects to Captain Sir Tom with drawings and commemorative claps.
Children from Stepping Stones Nursery, run by Havering Colleges in Ardleigh Green, were excited to pay their very own special tribute to the heroic Captain Sir Tom Moore.
The children walked 100 steps around the nursery garden and then clapped 100 times before proudly holding up colourful pictures they had drawn of Sir Tom.

NEW LEXINGTON â Taxpayers need look no further than the Perry County Dog Shelter to see their tax dollars being put to good use. The no-kill shelter is led by Kerrie Taylor, chief dog warden, at the 1650 Commerce Drive facility. Her two-person staff includes Jen Collins and Kelly Diss.
Taylor has been in her position as chief dog warden for three years. Collins has been at the shelter for two years while Diss joined the crew in March 2020. What is most impressive about Taylorâs tenure is not how long she has been warden; itâs the outstanding job she has done in such a short amount of time.
