Elderly fundraisers have paid tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore, whose walking inspired them to complete their own challenges amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 100-year-old became a household name across the UK after he raised more than £32 million for the NHS during the first coronavirus lockdown.
In doing so he inspired a generation to defy their age and complete similar feats of fundraising.
A 104-year-old who raised thousands of pounds during lockdown with a daily hill climb has received a coronavirus vaccine.
Joan Willett, a resident at Old Hastings House care home in Hastings, East Sussex, said she was “grateful and privileged” to be given the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine on January 15.
“I feel very grateful and privileged to have been the first person in my area to get the jab,” she said.
“It’s wonderful to think that this now offers everyone fresh hope of getting through this pandemic.”
The former teacher, who has survived two heart attacks, is the first care home resident in Hastings to receive a vaccine for Covid-19.
