Captain Sir Tom Moore has died: NHS hero passes away aged 100 after Covid-19 battle.
Captain Sir Tom Moore has died in hospital after a brief battle with Covid-19 and pneumonia. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore," his daughters said in a statement.
"The last year of our father's life was nothing short of remarkable. He was rejuvenated and experienced things he'd only ever dreamed of," his daughters said.
"Whilst he'd been in so many hearts for just a short time, he was an incredible father and grandfather, and he will stay alive in our hearts forever."
The WW2 veteran and beloved fundraiser lost his life having been taken to Bedford Hospital on Sunday.
He had been receiving treatment for pneumonia for some time and testing positive for Covid-19 last week.
Born 100 years ago, Captain Tom Moore came to his country's aid when it needed him most not once, but twice.
As one of the heroic veterans who fought in World War Two, the father-of-two served his country by putting his life on the line.
And then, 75 years after the war ended, he once again proved his brave selflessness by raising more than £39million for the NHS in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
Captain Tom, as he was affectionately known before he was afforded his first extra honour by the Queen, fundraised by walking laps of his garden and captured the hearts of the nation in one of its darkest hours.
