OHMYGOSSIP — Captain Sir Tom Moore has left his family £73,000 and donated his body to medical research.
The late war hero – who raised more than £32 million for the NHS during the pandemic – died from COVID-19 aged 100 in February, and he had written his last wishes late summer.
According to the MailOnline, official probate documents reveal his legacy has been split equally between his daughters Lucy, 52, and Hannah, 50.
Meanwhile, his belongings – including jackets, medals, tie and wheeled walker – could be displayed for the public in a museum.
This comes after his family backed a campaign for a national memorial at St. Paul’s Cathedral to remember the victims of the coronavirus pandemic.
His daughter Hannah – speaking on behalf of her husband Colin and their children Benjie and Georgia – said: “In what has been a challenging time for the whole nation, my family has been blessed with support far and wide, which has given us great comfort.
“I welcome this campaign as I have no doubt it will result in uniting many who have suffered similar loss and offer not only comfort but also secure a fitting way to ensure our loved ones are remembered for many years to come.
“My father would have been so proud to know a fitting tribute was being made to bring the nation together at this unprecedented time of loss.”
As well as her comments supporting the potential monument, Hannah has also made a donation to the Crowdfunder, alongside the likes of Prince Charles and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Alongside her gift, she wrote: “In memory of my father Captain Sir Tom. This is a most poignant and respectful tribute to all those we have lost during the pandemic.
“I am very much looking forward to visiting this beautiful place, allowing us to remember those we have loved and lost. Hannah x.”
