‘OUR GRIEF WON'T EVER GO AWAY – YOU JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT'

It’s hard to believe it has been a whole year since we lost the inspirational Captain Sir Tom Moore from our lives. The 100-year-old became a beacon of hope during the darkest times of the pandemic, and on the first anniversary of his death this week, his family say it will be a day of mixed emotions.

“There will definitely be sorrow, but there is also joy,” says his daughter Hannah IngramMoore. “We try not to allow ourselves to be lost in our grief because there’s so much goodness that has come out of it, too.”

Hannah, her husband Colin and their children Benjie, 18, and Georgia, 13, were also thrust into the spotlight when the army veteran raised almost £40 million for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of the garden at their Bedfordshire home. And, as they exclusively invite us into their now-famous residence, the family reflect on his passing and the weight of responsibility they feel to keep his legacy alive.

Captain Tom’s fundraising effort came about when Colin challenged him to walk 100 laps of their garden and said he would give him £1 a lap as his 100th birthday party had to be cancelled due to lockdown. Benjie and Georgia created an iMovie and Hannah set up a JustGiving page.

What it turned into was a story of hope and inspiration that captured the nation and the rest of the world’s hearts, with 163 countries donating.
