Apologies if already posted but this is quite fun.

 

Captain Tom Moore appearing as a contestant on Blankety Blank in 1983!

 

 

Bonus trivia, this was the last edition of the show that was presented by Wogan.

Very weird to think that Tom Moore became a personality himself and was too knighted AFTER Wogan died.

Stranger still is the fact that Moore is the more widely known personality worldwide now... :rolleyes:

His daughter was on BBC News this morning talking about how difficult it has been to cope with him not being around anymore (a reminder: he was 100, it wasn't entirely unexpected). She said the house is so quiet now (I'm assuming she's talking about the media phone calls, he was hardly the life and soul of the party) and has revealed the horrific trolling the family have endured during the past year, that she hid from him (entirely unacceptable of course) but she then finished the interview by saying something along the lines of 'and there's lots of exciting things in the pipeline that we look forward to sharing with you'. So much for him being able to rest in peace, then. :facepalm:

Would that have been his daughter of the brand development company or the other one?

Capt Sir Tom 100: Family unveils NHS fundraiser's 'birthday challenge'

The family of Captain Sir Tom Moore have encouraged people to take on their own "100" challenge on what would have been his 101st birthday weekend.

The Army veteran, who raised almost £33m for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before he turned 100, died on 2 February.

People have been asked to create their own challenge around the number 100 to raise money for charity.

 

His daughter was quoted as saying 'Please support this and keep buying the merchandise to ensure I stay in the public eye.  I intend to try to get on Pointless Celebrities, Celebrity First Dates and the jungle programme before the end of the year - all to ensure his legacy is not forgotten, of course'

Would've been 101 today.

Was it worth it to go to Barbados?

The lady left of him is still alive, and actually quite notable, an MBE and very much Guardian obit fodder:

Probably was still worth it. Being old is shite.

News that will surprise virtually no-one - The SirCaptain Tom Foundation spent more on admin than was donated to charities. His daughter's companies received more than any charity.
