Happy Birthday Captain Tom!

30 Apr 2020

Inspirational fundraiser Captain Tom Moore celebrates his 100th birthday today, and it's been marked in style.

The total raised by his fundraising effort in completing 100 laps of his garden before the big day hit an extraordinary £30million this morning, shortly after a spectacular flypast of Captain Moore's Marston Moretaine home by a Spitfire and a Hurricane.

Captain Tom was also made an honorary colonel, and became an honorary member of the England cricket team!

Mayor Dave Hodgson recorded a happy birthday video for Captain Tom on his special day, and you can watch it here
