Thousands of people up and down the country are getting involved in charity challenges to celebrate what would be Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101st birthday.
As part of the Captain Tom 100 campaign, people are being encouraged to create their own charity challenge themed around the number 100.
Sir Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and grandchildren Benjie, 17, and Georgia, 12, will be at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Friday – which would have been the Second World War veteran’s 101st birthday – to mark the start of the Captain Tom 100 weekend by ringing the ground’s famous five-minute bell.

As many as 18,000 runners and spectators will descend on a weekend race event as part of trials to enable the safe return of crowds to mass gatherings.
London Marathon Events (LME) is organising the Reunion 10K – three separate races each involving 3,000 runners and 3,000 spectators – which will be held on April 24 and 25 at Hatfield Park in Hertfordshire.
The event is part of a Government scheme to gather scientific evidence on how venues can reopen without the need for social distancing.
Everyone attending – participants, spectators and staff – will be required to take a Covid-19 test before and after the event, and these are expected to be lateral flow tests.
