Residents from Andover and beyond paid tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore yesterday as part of a national clap organised to celebrate his life. Politicians, police officers and NHS staff were among those joining in with a round of applause to commemorate the life of the 100-year-old, who raised over £33 million for the NHS. Others chose not to join in with the applause, saying that it was “virtue signalling” that overlooked the many others who had died during the pandemic. Captain Sir Tom Moore came to the attention of the nation when he began walking lengths of his garden for NHS Charities Together, with the aim of raising £1,000 for his 100th birthday, April 30.
