'The sun will shine again,' Captain Tom, 99, says as he completes $15 million walkTom Moore, a 99-year-old British war veteran, completed 100 laps of his garden on Thursday, raising more than 12 million pounds ($15 million) for the health service in an endeavor that has sown joy across the country amid the coronavirus doom. He completed the endeavor on Thursday to praise from around the country - and even a salute from soldiers in the regiment which replaced his own. Moore, raised in Yorkshire, northern England, served in India, Burma and Sumatra during World War Two. “You’ve all got to remember that we will get through it in the end, it will all be right, it might take time,” Moore said. “At the end of the day we shall all be okay again.” He said he had been inspired by the care he received from Britain’s state-run health service when he broke his hip and had cancer.
