bringing joy and hope to the nation one
step at a time captain Tom Moore is
about to reach his goal 100 laps of the
garden to raise money for the NHS
soldiers are first Battalion the
Yorkshire regiment formed a guard of
honour for the final laps captain Moore
first set out to raise a thousand pounds
when I sat down with him the total was
an extraordinary 13.5 million we're
never ever in wildest dream waving
source of that sort implies thinking of
thirteen and a half million just
difficult to
just a couple of hours later the total
stands at over 15 million and what
motivates him the NHS staff going to
work every day during the coronavirus
crisis we are putting ourselves in
mortal danger and they're doing it
carefully and they're doing well
everybody so brave captain Moore is no
stranger to bravery himself serving in
India and Myanmar during World War two
age 99 he can remember a time before the
NHS even existed when I was four if
anything happened to you
you had to pay off my bicycle and cut my
face my mother took me to a doctor and
he put some stitches he did all that was
necessary but nobody had to pay his
gratitude for the NHS now is inspired by
the care he received when he broke his
hip and was treated for cancer and his
sunny attitude has won lots of fans
Cantona you are an absolute legend and
when you come from an exceptional
generation that are still an inspiration
for our Yorkshire soldiers today
captain wall says he'll keep going as
long as people keep donating a petition
asking for him to be honored has passed
300,000 signatures they're calling for a
knighthood for you so to say Sir Thomas
More sounds very good it sounds
beautiful but I don't think so I have a
work with the Queen for you
