There’s terrible news emerging from the UK tonight and Sir Tom Moore has been rushed to hospital diagnosed with covid.

His family said that he’s being treated by expert staff who are doing all they can to save the hero.

During the first lockdown, there were calls to give a special elderly gentleman a knighthood after he did what many are saying “an act of heroism” by raising some €20 million for the NHS in the UK.

People online were saying that he’s done far more for health workers than any footballer ever could, many of whom have been knighted.

The 100-yr-old war veteran walked 100 laps of his garden to raise 17 million pounds and counting (almost €20 million) for the NHS.

Captain Tom Moore originally planned to collect just £1,000 for NHS Charities Together before his 100th birthday by doing laps of his the garden.

But he broke his goal after nearly 800,000 people made a donation on his fundraising page.

As he finished the challenge, Captain Moore said: “I feel fine, I hope you’re all feeling fine too.”

Capt Tom told the BBC the total amount raised so far was “an absolutely fantastic sum of money”.

“I never dreamt I would be involved in such an occasion as this,” he said at the end of his final lap which has been broadcast across the world.
