Several tributes came flying in to help the war veteran who has raised £30m for the NHS by walking laps of his garden,  mark his 100th birthday. The occasion was marked with an RAF flypast and birthday greeting from the Queen and the prime minister.

Captain Tom Moore has received 140, 000 birthday cards.

“Reaching 100 is quite something. Reaching 100 with such interest in me and huge generosity from the public is very overwhelming. People keep saying what I have done is remarkable, however, it’s actually what you have done for me which is remarkable. Please always remember tomorrow will be a good day” Colonel Tom said.

Capt Tom was informed of his promotion to honorary colonel in a letter presented by Lt Col Thomas Miller, commanding officer of the 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment at his home.
