The nation turned out on their doorsteps this evening to 'Clap for Captain Tom' to remember the World War Two veteran, who passed away on Tuesday.
Captain Tom was dubbed a 'national inspiration' when when he raised over £33 million for NHS Charities during the first national lockdown by walking 100 laps of his garden.
He died aged 100 on Tuesday in Bedford Hospital after being admitted for pneumonia and Covid-19.
