Captain Tom Moore, a 99-year-old British war veteran, has now raised more than 25 million pounds for the health service by walking 100 laps of his garden.

The World War Two veteran, who has used a walking frame with wheels since breaking his hip, set himself the target of walking the 25 metres around his garden 100 times before his 100th birthday on April 30.

Prince Harry said in an interview published today that he was honoured to be an army veteran in the company of people like Moore.

“Congratulations to Tom. What he’s done is utterly amazing. It’s not just what he’s done but it’s the reaction that people have had as well. Just wonderfully British,” Harry told the Declassified podcast for ex-servicemen and women.
