The union flag at the Civic Centre in Twickenham will fly at half-mast today in tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore.

The war veteran and NHS fundraising hero died from COVID-19 yesterday.

The 100-year-old received a knighthood last year following his incredible money-raising efforts.

The mayor of Richmond Borough, Councillor Geoff Acton said:

"I am sure I speak on behalf of the whole borough when I express how saddened I am to hear of the passing of Captain Sir Tom Moore.

"He inspired and helped us all understand that we each have our own part to play in this pandemic.

"Captain Tom showed how much power one person has to do good in the world, even from their own back garden. He lifted our spirits.

"I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. We have lost a hero."
