In honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore a minutes silence will be held in the House of Commons. MPs will also observe their silence in memory of all victims who have been affected by the pandemic.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore on Tuesday and said that she “very much enjoyed meeting” with him and his family.
On Tuesday, Boris Johnson said, “Captain Sir Tom Moore was a hero in the truest sense of the word. In the dark days of the Second World War he fought for freedom and in the face of this country’s deepest post war crisis he united us all.
“He cheered us all up and he embodied the triumph of the human spirit.
“It is quite astonishing that at the age of 100 he raised more than £3.2m for the NHS, and so gave countless others their own chance to thank the extraordinary men and women who have protected us through the pandemic.
“He became not just a national inspiration but a beacon of hope for the world. Our thoughts are with his daughter Hannah and all his family.”
