Star hails Cap’n Tom

Fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore has become the first member of the Lionhearts squad of inspirational heroes, receiving a personal visit from David Beckham.

Beckham made a trip to Sir Tom’s Bedfordshire home to hand over a framed football shirt.

Sir Tom was made honorary captain of the Lionhearts, which honours people who have gone beyond duty in the fight against Covid-19.

Beckham said: “The highlight of my whole career was being made England captain. To have Sir Tom as our captain – it doesn’t get any better than that.”
