Captain Sir Tom Moore dies with coronavirus – BBC News
The 100-year-old, who raised almost £33m for the UK’s 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.
The Army veteran won the nation’s hearts by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

It is disgusting that UK should rely on public donations for health support rather than providing those funds themselves. He would not be dead if UK’s politicians cared for the public (thus controlling the pandemic) rather than supporting our political system as purely business-run. Regarding his military achievements in Burma I would say this: Whilst a good man, the poor guy was indoctrinated to kill people in invaded (by Britain) lands having nothing to do with his true homeland (the continent of UK itself geographical location). It is OK to make heroes of these aggressors, however we should be apologizing for risking his life and we should be most importantly publicly condemning the authorities issuing them commands to kill others. As for the end of the Nazi military, we must salute China who did the overwhelmingly the main fighting (and in their OWN territory, not abroad as we interested) for the Japanese threat, and almost solely responsible for their defeat, and also salute Russia who ended the Nazi threat in Europe. For this noble man we should only be offering an apology for putting him in danger and we must condemn our country for its atrociously violent acts abroad.

He should not gone on holiday abroad if the rest of us cant then why did he all expensive paid holiday to the Caribbean first class seats flights to Barbados what about the nhs staff key workers unable to take any holidays off for 14 15 months because of this pandemic. They are working 12 15 hour shifts a day and yet cant take holidays. It shouldnt be the case where this happened yes he raised money for charity for walking in his garden but a lot of people do charity work and do not get free holidays. I find it very unfair and really disrespectful my main concern was for the nhs staff workers hospital workers and key workers

I just learned that although he had covid that DiD not kill him. He had pneumonia and this is why he went into hospital but once there he was given the covid vaccine then he died. It wasn't covid that killed him.

How about all the money he raised is given to the real victims, the millions out of a job and small businesses lost, future generations lives potentially destroyed the thousands of families living with there loved ones who have killed them selves the millions suffering depression because of theses garbage lockdowns, while the government sit on trillions of tax payers pounds
