Where does he live?

He has lived with daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, 49, and her family in Bedfordshire since the death of his wife, Pamela, in 2006.

After the war he returned to civilian life and married Pamela who was 15 years his junior.

With the aid of a walking frame, he hoped to walk 100 laps of the 25-metre (82ft) loop in his garden in Marston Moretaine, in 10-lap chunks.

When is his birthday?

The hero, who aimed to complete the walk before he turns 100 on 30 April, originally hoped to raise £1,000 but smashed his target within days.

An eight-year-old girl has started an online campaign for children to make birthday cards for Moore’s 100th birthday.

Reegan Davies, from Port Talbot, South Wales, set a target of 1,500 virtual cards after posting a video online to thank him for his fundraising efforts.
