The Scottish Parliament flags in Edinburgh are flying at half mast today to pay tribute to the late 100-year-old World War Two veteran who raised millions for the NHS.

Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised almost £33m for the NHS early in the Covid-19 pandemic, died in hospital yesterday after testing positive for the virus.

To honour his memory, the Scottish Parliament’s Saltire, Union Jack and EU flags are at half mast to pay tribute to the war veteran who walked 100 laps of his garden ahead of his 100th birthday during the first national lockdown last April.
