Over 200,000 back campaign to give Sir Thomas Moore state funeral
Local
Following WWII veteran and NHS hero Captain Sir Thomas Moore’s passing on Tuesday, over 200,000 people backed a captain to give the veteran a state funeral.
Captain Tom had won the hearts of millions after raising over £33 million doing laps in his garden, serving as a beacon of hope for many.
He passed away after contracting COVID-19 and if granted, his funeral would be the first state funeral since Sir Winston Churchill’s in 1965.
