A private family funeral for Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised more than £33m for NHS charities during lockdown last year, is taking place.

Captain Sir Tom died aged 100 on 2 February after contracting coronavirus.

Only eight relatives can attend the event but soldiers are performing ceremonial duties and there is a flypast from a World War Two-era plane.

Capt Sir Tom was "a remarkable man who truly represented the best of us", Sir Tim Exton, Commanding Officer of the Yorkshire Regiment, says.

~SALUTE~

I didn't see this thread earlier. What a remarkable guy and life this guy had. At 100, he did more than most, half his age to help in the fight against Covid. There are others like Sir Tom Moore who gave of themselves in this fight.

I'm speaking of the nurses and doctors who came out of retirement to help care for Covid patients and contracted Covid themselves for their efforts. A good number of them died from their illnesses.

To Sir Tom Moore and the others like him that understand the meaning of service and dedication,

Rest in Peace.
