A 99-year-old war veteran who has raised more than £12m for the NHS by walking around his garden has now completed his challenge.
Captain Tom Moore, who turns 100 at the end of the month, smashed his original target to raise £1,000 by walking 100 lengths of his Bedfordshire garden.
He has now completed his final lap, as donations continuing to pour in from people wanting to support front line NHS workers fighting the coronavirus. Previously speaking to Sky News during a break from his walks, Captain Moore said:"We set out originally to raise a little bit of money by me walking up and down 100 times in reference to my 100th birthday.
"But if I've done the 100 by tomorrow, I'll have to continue past my birthday, which won't matter because I'll continue walking while people are contributing money to a marvellous fund for the NHS.
