Captain Tom Moore’s funeral will be held on Saturday, following his death at the age of 100, with his family urging people to support the NHS by staying at home.

Second World War veteran Captain Tom captured the hearts of the nation with his fundraising efforts during the first lockdown, when he walked 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday, raising more than £32 million for the NHS.
