Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter visits road named in veteran's honour

Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter has been to visit a road named in honour of her father.

Hannah Ingram-Moore went to see the newly-named 'Captain Sir Tom Moore Way' at Staffordshire's National Memorial Arboretum.

Renaming the road was the idea of veteran Tony Matthews, who has volunteered at the national remembrance site for 15 years.

"As he was a veteran of the Far East campaigns during the Second World War, I thought this would be a fantastic way of remembering Captain Tom," he said.

Captain Sir Tom Moore became a national sensation after raising more than £32m for the NHS in 2020 by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday.

The World War Two veteran was knighted in June of that year following his efforts.

He died in February this year, with his daughters hailing the last year of his life as "nothing short of remarkable", adding: "He was rejuvenated and experienced things he'd only ever dreamed of."
