Captain Sir Tom Moore has launched a new campaign to get people walking to help support those who feel "lonely and frightened" during lockdown.
Image source, PA MediaThe veteran who is originally from Keighley in West Yorkshire, raised £33m for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday.
His feat saw him knighted by the Queen, release an autobiography and have his life set to become the focus of a film.
The challenge encourages people to log their walking on social media using the hashtag #WalkWithTom over the next week.
Capt Sir Tom hopes to raise money for his foundation, which aims to combat loneliness and support those facing bereavement.
The 100-year-old said the second England-wide lockdown would be difficult but "we will get through it".

Read MoreYork's director of public health has said her "aspiration" is for the city to be placed in the lowest tier of coronavirus restrictions once the national lockdown ends in December.
Image source, Getty ImagesSharon Stolz said tier two restrictions, imposed on 18 October, came after a spike in the number of positive cases. However, she said the city's infection rate was now falling in all age groups.
The city's seven-day infection rate is 183 per 100,000 people. Its rate in the week up to 11 October, before it entered tier two restrictions, was 258.3 per 100,000 people.
"My aspiration is that we in York are able to go back to tier one, that we will have brought our figures down so successfully that we won't go back into tier two," Ms Stolz said.
"We just need to carry on doing what we're doing. It is working. We just need to keep up our efforts over the next four weeks."
Ms Stolz said the city was keeping outbreaks in care homes and schools under control, but added there had been a rise in the number of Covid-related patients being admitted to hospital.

People may start breaking lockdown rules because their resilience after months of coronavirus restrictions has been "lost", the leader of Sheffield Council says.
Image source, PA MediaCouncillor Julie Dore says people are tired and anxious as England heads into another lockdown tomorrow.
Ms Dore told the Prime Minister’s top civil servant Sir Edward Lister that if the government stops people’s pleasures in life, they will stop following the rules.
She says people may break the rules – not to have parties, but simply to visit their loved ones.
“If you strip away all their pleasures, people will stop complying. They start to take risks and that may be something as simple as going to their mum’s house for a cup of tea," she says.
“I’m concerned about people’s tiredness, compliance and their mental health. People have lost their resilience. People go into a crisis mode but can’t sustain it forever.”

Using the online link means a potential donor, external is sent a kit through the post, he said.
Despite a shortage of donors at the university, "people are still being diagnosed at the same rate", Mr Mellor said.
