Army veteran, 99, 'smashes' £500,000 NHS target
An Army veteran reacted with stunned silence when he heard he had raised more than £500,000 for the NHS.
Tom Moore said: "Who would have thought that when I set a target of £1,000 a week ago, it could have reached £500,000?"
The 99-year-old World War Two veteran plans to walk 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden by Thursday - he has so far walked 70 laps of the 25-metre (82ft) loop.
He added: "I thank the British public from the bottom of my heart", as you can see here.

A man has chalked his entire house in the colours of the rainbow as a special tribute to the NHS.

He said: "I just started doing the wall, then one thing led to another and then I did the whole house."
It took him nearly 16 hours over two days to finish the project.
Mr Pickard dedicated it to health workers across the country for their efforts during the coronavirus outbreak.

The 99-year-old initially hoped to raise £1,000 for the "magnificent" NHS, but after the story went public on 8 April more than 23,000 people have donated funds - and the total keeps going up.
Mr Moore, who served in World War Two, has completed 70 laps of the 25-metre (82ft) loop in his garden in Marston Moretaine. He is taking them on in 10-lap chunks, as you can see here.
Moorland fire 'caused by out-of-control barbecue'
Four men from Leeds have been charged under new legislation enacted to tackle the coronavirus pandemic after about four hectares of moorland went up in smoke.
Derbyshire Police said the group, who are all in their early 20s, were questioned in connection with the blaze, which happened near the A628 at Woodhead on Good Friday.
A force spokesman said the fire was believed to have been caused by a barbecue that went "out of control".
The men are due in court accused of "associating with people other than those in their own household" and making an unnecessary journey.

Sarah Robbins and her family were on their way back home from feeding horses in Marsden, West Yorkshire, when they came across the Easter bunny, who presented Ms Robbins' daughter with some chocolate eggs.
"She really believed he was real," Ms Robbins said.
"What a lovely kind gesture from a member of our local community, raising spirits."
Council's cremation restrictions questioned
A city's MP says government ministers are to intervene in a council's decision to ban mourners from attending cremations.
The City of York Council had said nobody could attend the site at Bishopthorpe, but later said mourners could stand in the grounds but not inside the chapel.
York MP Rachael Maskell said government ministers were speaking to the council and that they wanted the local authority to "change its position".
The council's leader, Keith Aspden, defended the measures saying: "We would not be putting this [set of restrictions] forward unless keeping this service going and making sure that they can work potentially 24/7 if necessary is absolutely vital for wider public health".
