Happy 100th birthday Captain Tom!
Did you know Captain Tom walked 100 laps of his garden and raised over 30 million pounds for the NHS? Amazing amount! The special Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) will carry out an aerial salute for him today.
To help Captain Tom celebrate his birthday you could make a birthday card or banners. You could find out about the aeroplanes that will fly today or designΒ stamp for Captain Tom. Maybe you could write a letter to Captain Tom and ask him about his life?
Tonight, after we have clapped for our NHS workers everyone is encouraged to sing Happy Birthday to the nations hero, Captain Tom.
