Captain Sir Tom Moore captured the nation’s heart last year when public morale was at an all-time low, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The brave-hearted 100-year-old made 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS and made headlines worldwide.
Since the effort in April, he has raised more than £30 million for the healthcare system’s battle against coronavirus.
But his achievements did not stop there. In 2020 he was knighted by the Queen, recorded a number one single, published his autobiography and turned 100 years old. This gallery showcases just a few of the veteran’s highlights.
