Beckham and Kane among those lending support to Captain Tom's coronavirus charity push

David Beckham and Harry Kane are among those to throw their support behind WWII hero Captain Tom Moore in his quest to raise money for the NHS.

Captain Tom, 99, completed his target of 100 laps around his garden at his home last week in a fundraiser for the fight against coronavirus.

The WWII hero is looking to raise £30 million by Thursday, his 100th birthday, after initially setting a goal of just £1,000 on his Just Giving page.

Throughout his fundraising push, Captain Tom has earned the adoration of people all over the world, with donations coming in from more than 50 countries.
