Captain Sir Tom Moore who raised more than 32 million pounds for the National Health Service has been knighted in the Queen's first official engagement in person since lockdown.

The investiture to honour the 100-year-old was staged in a "unique ceremony" at Windsor Castle.

He has been recognised for walking more than 100 laps of his garden in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire.

Capt Sir Tom, originally from Keighley, West Yorkshire, said it was "an absolutely outstanding day".

He says he would not share what the Queen said to him as she honoured him.
