A special flypast, life-size chainsaw carving and a commemorative sculpture are just some of the ways Lincolnshire is honouring the 100th birthday of Captain Tom Moore, who went viral raising millions of pounds for the NHS.
The war veteran, who turns 100 on Thursday, April 30, raised over £29 million for the NHS during the coronavirus lockdown by walking laps of his Bedfordshire garden.
His story inspired the nation and a school attended by his grandson Benjie Ingram-Moore was inundated with more than 125,000 birthday cards from people across the globe.
