Features & Highlights
- At the height of the pandemic, 99-year-old WWII veteran Captain Tom Moore began walking laps of his garden to raise £1,000 for the NHS. By the time of his 100th birthday, he'd reached £32 million and captured the hearts of the nation. In his official autobiography, announced alongside the creation of the Captain Tom Foundation, he tells us not only of his long life, serving in Burma in the war and racing motorbikes, but also how an old soldier with a can-do, never-give-up attitude inspired a nation to believe anything is possible by reminding us it is never too late.
