Captain Sir Tom laid to rest in hometown of Keighley

Sir Tom's family attended the service along with the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire

Captain Sir Tom Moore's ashes have been buried alongside his parents and grandparents in his family grave in Yorkshire.

Representatives of the NHS, Royal British Legion, Scouts, Guides and other groups lined the path at Morton Cemetery in Riddlesden, Keighley.

As Sir Tom requested, his headstone bears the words "I told you I was old".

The World War Two veteran raised more than £32m for the NHS by walking round his garden during lockdown.

A short service was conducted by Keighley Town Chaplain, the Reverend Dr Jonathan Pritchard and attended by Sir Tom's daughters, grandchildren and other family members as well as the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Ed Anderson.

Sir Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore said he was immensely proud to come from Keighley.

"It didn't matter where he was, this was still home to him," she said.

"For him to be back here in the hands and the arms of this local community, I know that made him so happy, so we're really happy too."

Mr Pritchard said it was an "immense privilege" to perform the ceremony.

"He was an extraordinary man who's made a real significant difference in the life of our nation," he said.

"He lifted our spirits and raised our vision about what is possible.

"So, I'm just very, very moved to be able to be here right at the very end and doing this."
