Captain Sir Tom Moore, the 100-year-old World War II veteran who captivated the British public in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic with his fundraising efforts, has died, Tuesday Feb. 2, 2021. His plan to attempt 100 laps of his garden to mark his 100th birthday touched the nation. He ultimately raised £35 million for NHS Charities. He was knighted by the Queen, published his autobiography and even had a number one record.
