Captain Tom tops charts for 100th birthday
War veteran Captain Tom Moore has become the oldest person ever to score a number one single in the UK.
The 99-year-old, from Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire, stole the nation's heart by walking 100 laps of his garden to raise close to £30m and rising for the NHS.
His duet with Michael Ball has knocked Canada's The Weeknd from the top of the charts.
Their cover of You'll Never Walk Alone sold 82,000 copies, with proceeds going to the NHS Charities Together fund.
"My grandchildren can't believe I'm a chart-topper," said Capt Moore.

Town’s partnership with the NHS for 2020-21 follows the previous three years where Blues have carried the logos of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and East Anglian Air Ambulance on the back of the shirts to spotlight those charities.
The front of the shirts has had an advert for a betting firm.

A community group based in Brentwood, Essex, is celebrating its success at getting donations to vulnerable residents.
The Brentwood Community Hub brings together a number of voluntary groups with the help of Brentwood Borough Council with donors dropping items off at the Town Hall.
The Hutton Community Food Hub said it was helping 250 families and handing over 300 food parcels a week.
Council leader Chris Hossack said: "The way the community has come together is extraordinary. These guys have established themselves, rallied volunteers and residents, complied with the rules that are in place to sort the donations and deliver them."
The groups also include Christian charity Manna Meals, community groups Brentwood Covid-19 Mutual Aid, which has 2,100 members on Facebook, and Brentwood Residents Action Group (BRAG).
Molly Miller, who runs BRAG with Jazz Cooper, said: "Our primary aim was to provide help to the over-60s self-isolating who were unable to shop."
