  11. Sir Tom Moore: From Keighley origins to fundraising legendpublished at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2021

    Captain Sir Tom Moore, who was originally from West Yorkshire, has died at the age of 100 with coronavirus after being admitted to hospital in Bedford on Sunday.

    He rose to fame last year by raising almost £33m for the NHS, winning the nation's hearts by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.

    He was born in Keighley on 30 April 1920 and attended Keighley Grammar School before completing an apprenticeship as a civil engineer and joining the Army.

    He enlisted into the eighth battalion of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, an infantry unit that was converted to operate Churchill tanks as part of the Royal Armoured Corps.

    In 1940, he was selected for officer training and rose to the rank of captain, later being posted to 9 DWR in India.

    He served and fought in the Arakan in western Burma, since renamed Rakhine State, and went with his regiment to Sumatra after the Japanese surrender.

    After the war, he returned to the UK and worked as an instructor at the Armoured Fighting Vehicle School in Bovington, Dorset.

    He previously made a foray into television when he appeared on game show Blankety Blank, hosted by Terry Wogan, in 1983.

    He lived in Kent for many years before moving to Bedfordshire to be with his family in 2007.

    Sir Tom suffered a broken hip in 2018 and also required treatment for skin cancer of the head.

    His family said this inspired him to do something to help the NHS, and he decided to walk 100 laps of his garden in Marston Moretaine before his 100th birthday to raise funds.

    Sir Tom started his challenge in early April 2020 with the initial target of raising £1,000 for NHS Charities Together.

    Ten days later, assisted by his walking frame, he had completed 100 laps and raised more than £20 million.

    In particular, people are being advised not to travel to the centre at the John Smith’s Stadium in Huddersfield for their vaccination today because of particularly bad conditions in that area.

    Anyone with an appointment at the stadium today can rebook using the contact details provided on their booking letter.

    Dr Phil Wood, from the West Yorkshire Vaccination Programme, said: “No-one will lose their opportunity to have a vaccine.

    Other vehicles became stuck and a lorry jack-knifed at junction 23 near Outlane, following heavy snowfall overnight.

    The Met Office warned rural communities are at risk of becoming cut off and widespread travel disruption is likely.

    An amber weather warning, external for snow came in force across much of South and West Yorkshire at 03:00 this morning.

    Forecasters said motorists who brave the roads are at risk of becoming stranded, while rail and air cancellations are likely.

    Train operator Northern is asking people not to travel on the Calder Valley route until further notice.

    Several trees have fallen onto the line between Halifax and Rochdale, meaning trains cannot operate and treacherous road conditions are making it difficult to run replacement bus services.

    The snow is expected to move north over the course of Tuesday morning, before clearing and becoming brighter from the south in the early afternoon.
