Britain's Captain Tom was our world, says his daughter

The daughter of Captain Tom Moore, who died last week aged 100 after contracting COVID-19, paid tribute to her father on Wednesday, casting him as a vibrant mentor who spread hope and joy with his mischievous charm.

Moore struck a chord with locked-down Britain by walking around his garden with the help of a frame to raise tens of millions of pounds for the National Health Service.

"He was our world," said his daughter Hannah in a statement. "He was an amazing man with the biggest heart."
