100-year-old British fundraiser Tom Moore (Captain Tom) is dead.
This was announced by his daughters Hannah and Lucy in a statement. Moore had previously been infected with the corona virus.
It raised millions for the National Health Service (NHS) last year through a fundraising campaign.
Moore had not been vaccinated against Covid-19 due to the medications he was given to treat pneumonia.
The WWII veteran had raised nearly £ 32.8 million (about 39.8 million francs) for the National Health Service in the corona pandemic with his campaign last year and thus achieved worldwide fame. .
He had walked 100 laps around his backyard with his walker. Moore even set a new Guinness World Record for the highest amount ever raised in a charity run.
The Queen is also in mourning
Queen Elizabeth II has expressed her grief over Moore’s death. “The Queen is sending a private letter of condolence to the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore,” the royal family announced on Twitter. “His Majesty enjoyed meeting Captain Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Your thoughts and those of the royal family are with you. “
The Queen even knighted the veteran last year for his services.
