Tom Moore was fired with applause | The United Kingdom …

Millions of Britons have come to their doorstep to pay their respects to Captain Tom Moore, who died yesterday at the age of 100 from coronavirus.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged to leave at 6 a.m. to applaud in recognition of the man who has helped raise more than £ 30million for the NHS, the national health service.

The World War II veteran “has accomplished more in his 100th year than perhaps any other centenarian in our history,” Johnson said at a press conference this afternoon.

“We applaud for the optimism that the captain has defended,” added the Prime Minister, who formalized his request for tribute to Parliament, where he received a minute of silence. Additionally, he defined Moore as “a hero in the truest sense of the word.”

From the former military’s Twitter account, his family said they were “incredibly moved” by the initiative to honor his memory and assured that he would participate in the national applause “with immense love” for the captain. Her daughter, her son-in-law and you are two grandchildren too.

At 6 p.m. Johnson came out to applaud outside 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister. Keir Starmer, Leader of the Labor Opposition, also joined the tribute. Members of the NHS and security forces cheered from their workplaces.

London’s Wembley Stadium, meanwhile, lit up its famous arch in honor of Captain Moore. “Tonight Wembley Stadium joins the country to remember and celebrate the life and achievements of Captain Tom Moore,” he said on social media.

In addition, the majority of English clubs have joined in condolences to the family. “You have been an inspiration to all of us. Thank you Captain Tom Moore,” Tottenham Hotspur said.

Footballer Harry Kane also remembered the captain’s figure. “I am very sad to have seen this news, because it was an inspiration from a man who has done a lot for others. My condolences go to his family and friends,” said the England striker and goalscorer of the last World Cup.

Moore turned 100 on April 30 and set out to raise a thousand pounds for the NHS through a hundred towers of his garden, with the help of his walker.

Before 24 hours, it had far exceeded this figure. By the time he reached the hundredth step, 32 million pounds had already been raised. In addition, he recorded a version of the song “You will never walk alone”, which reached number one on the charts.

In July, Queen Elizabeth had decorated it at Windsor Castle.
