Stars pay tribute to Captain Tom Moore on his 100th birthday

breakingnews.ie:

Stars including David and Victoria Beckham, Simon Cowell and Paddy McGuinness have sent well wishes to Captain Tom Moore on his 100th birthday.

The war veteran has raised more than £30 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden. He originally set a fundraising target of £1,000 but his determination captured the public imagination and donations poured in.

He crossed the £30 million mark at about 9.20am on Thursday, an hour after the RAF staged a flypast in his honour. He was also appointed as an honorary colonel of the Army Foundation College on his special day.

McGuinness wrote on Twitter: “Happy 100th Birthday Captain Tom. 30 million raised for the NHS. Not only have you helped the NHS you also helped a Nation to smile again.
