Two WWII fighter planes few over the home of U.K. veteran Tom Moore, who turned 100 years old on April 30. Moore, who prefers to be known as "Captain Tom," caught the attention of people all over the world when his record-breaking charity walk in his garden raised tens of millions of dollars to fight the coronavirus. Charlie D'Agata visited the veteran's hometown of Bedford.

I think they just converted it for their US viewership. I don't imagine many americans really have a grip for what say 28 million pounds would be, in much the same way I don't really have a good grip of what 45 million indian rupees is worth.

@@KajoFox then Google it genius. Everyone literally has more information than any encyclopedia ever written in their pockets. Yet we still have a plague of stupid people. Besides America seems to be the only country that does this. If this was Britain reporting on an American charity worker they would have said dollars guaranteed.

Why isn't the reason why he raised the money even mentioned? I find that to be really disrespectful. He raised the money to support the NHS. Why would this broadcast omit that crucial detail? Makes me wonder. He wanted to raise money as a thank you for the NHS staff who helped him with treatment for a broken hip and cancer. I just think that people should know the truth.
