The Queen leads tributes after death of Captain Sir Tom Moore with coronavirus - BBC News

Her Majesty The Queen and the prime minister Boris Johnson have led the many tributes to Captain Sir Tom Moore ho's died at the age of 100.
He was admitted to hospital with pneumonia in January and again a few days ago. His family confirmed he'd tested positive for Coronavirus.
Sir Tom was a veteran of the Second World War. He’d raised almost £39m for NHS charities during the first lockdown last year.
That remarkable achievement led to nationwide respect and earned him the admiration of millions. Sir Tom said the pinnacle of the past year for him was being knighted by The Queen at Windsor last summer.

@Edward L Gross Never before has a geriatric cripple hobbled around his garden with such dignity

[@captainzero119]

The man has left a legacy of things - not only is it a big shame on us as an society than a retired veteran can raise vital money for the NHS in his garden yet the government can't coax the 4th biggest economy in the EU into it without convoluting it with an expectancy of under payment, private involvement and un-neccecary death. It is a shame on everyone who ignores what is happening to public services and another embarrassing moment to remember that voting - not clapping, may have avoided the strain on our public resources - something that good ole' Boris and his mates would rather not exist (: well.. beyond making it a lucrative private market...
