It was Hannah's her idea that her father should walk laps of his garden to raise money for his 100th birthday on April 30.

The amazing £32 million raised for the NHS comes after Captain Tom broke his hip 18 months ago.

Daughter Hannah told LBC: "He is your stoic Yorkshire man. And having broke his hip 18 months ago he knows full well that if he didn't keep walking he would stop walking altogether.

"When he was in his eighties he had two new knees, and the way he got around that was by cycling every day a week after he'd had them done.

"He's compelled to stay fit and active, he says there's no fun in getting old but at least try and stay as fit as you can."
