Captain Moore oldest artist to top UK charts
Captain Tom Moore, the British army veteran raised more than $55 million for the National Healthcare Services (NHS).
At 99-years-old, Moore walked 100 laps of his garden to try and raise 1000 pounds for the NHS.
He wanted to get it done before his 100th birthday this week. He finished early and raised over $55 million. He then did a rendition of 'You'll never walk alone', as a dedication to, and a fundraiser for, the NHS.
