Good Morning Britain viewers are urging Sir Tom Moore to have a well-deserved rest after he appeared on the show to promote his new books today.
The World War Two veteran, who raised millions for NHS charities by walking up and down his garden ahead of his 100th birthday, was on GMB this morning (Thursday, September 17).
In a chat with hosts Kate Garraway and Alex Beresford, he spoke about his new autobiography and children’s book, as well as the launch of the Captain Tom Foundation.

Sir Tom featured on GMB via video link alongside his daughter, Hannah.
Kate asked her what the aims of the Captain Tom Foundation are. She replied: “Inspiring hope where it’s needed most and supporting loss, loneliness, bereavement and inequality.”

“I think that David Beckham,” he laughed. “He looks the likely sort of person. He looks a very nice person. Young and good looking, so you’re happy with him? Whenever you see him, he moves about so well. He’s the sort of person who looks so alive all the time.”
