Captain Sir Tom Moore has died, his family said.
Captain Sir Tom inspired the nation during the first lockdown and raised more than £32m for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 10th birthday.
He was admitted to hospital this week with pneumonia and coronavirus.
His daughters Hannah and Lucy said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore.
“We are so grateful that we were with him during the last hours of his life; Hannah, Benjie and Georgia by his bedside and Lucy on FaceTime.
“We spent hours chatting to him, reminiscing about our childhood and our wonderful mother. We shared laughter and tears together.”
Yesterday, Lake District brand Herdy made him a Herdy Hero and created a poster people can download.
