Captain Sir Tom Moore - the Second World War veteran who raised tens of millions of pounds for the NHS has sadly died at the age of 100.
People across the UK took part in a special clap at 6pm on 3 February to show respect and remember him.
When the UK first went into lockdown against the coronavirus pandemic, Captain Tom became an unlikely hero.
The then 99-year-old war veteran accepted a little family challenge - to raise £1,000 for NHS charities by walking 100 lengths of his garden before his 100th birthday.
He went on to raise over £39 million and became world famous in the process.
