Captain Sir Tom Moore

The people, places and stories making news in the British countryside.

How, after the death of Captain Tom, difficult questions were raised about his legacy.

Captain Tom Moore had a simple idea. Raise £1,000 for NHS Charities to mark his 100th Birthday. Four weeks later he’d raised more than £32-million, had a No. 1 record and become a global sensation. BBC Breakfast had unrivalled access and this special programme, presented by Michael Ball, documents the story of the World War Two veteran that Prince William called ‘A one-man fund raising machine’.

Captain Sir Tom Moore recounts for the first time his life story and the key events in his 100 years - from his humble beginnings in Keighley, Yorkshire to his service on the Burma front during the Second World War, to raising more than £30 million for the NHS.
