He has been recognised for walking more than 100 laps of his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire.

2. Great story, I've been following it and its just about the only honestly 100% good news ...

this year.

I hope the movie that will inevitably come out of it stays simple and true to the character of Capt Sir Tom Moore (a great name for someone who seems to be a simple honest man of good will).
