Your tributes for Captain Sir Tom Moore
Captain Sir Tom Moore - the Second World War veteran who raised tens of millions of pounds for the NHS has sadly died at the age of 100.
People across the UK took part in a special clap at 6pm on 3 February to show respect and remember him.
When the UK first went into lockdown against the coronavirus pandemic, Captain Tom became an unlikely hero.
The then 99-year-old war veteran accepted a little family challenge - to raise 拢1,000 for NHS charities by walking 100 lengths of his garden before his 100th birthday.
He went on to raise over 拢39 million and became world famous in the process.
