A former UK army officer, Tom Moore, who found fame as a Coronavirus charity fundraiser, has died at the age 100 from Coronavirus.

He raised almost £33 million for the NHS, was taken to Bedford Hospital after requiring help with his breathing on Sunday.

His daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore said he had been treated for pneumonia over the past few weeks and last week tested positive for Covid-19.

Buckingham Palace said the Queen is sending a private message of condolence to the family of Capt Sir Tom.

The Royal Family tweeted: "Her Majesty very much enjoyed meeting Captain Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Her thoughts and those of the Royal Family are with them."
