Captain Tom Moore, the war veteran who raised more than £29m ($36m) for the UK’s National Health Service by walking laps of his garden, turns 100 today.

As well as receiving a personalised card from the Queen, Capt Tom will be made an honorary England cricketer by former captain Michael Vaughan.

He’s also been made an honorary colonel.
