Residents at a Kent care home have paid homage to Captain Sir Tom Moore by completing 100 laps of their dining area.

Around 30 staff and residents from Woodstock Residential Care Centre in Sittingbourne completed the feat following the death of the 100-year-old on February 2.

Sir Tom raised more than £32 million for the NHS during the first coronavirus lockdown.

Staff and residents tallied up the 100 hundred laps between them by walking around the dining area of their care home in Woodstock Road to the tune of Gerry and the Pacemakers' "You'll Never Walk Alone" - which was covered by Sir Tom in collaboration with singer Michael Ball.

The oldest resident to take part in the challenge was 97.

Woodstock's senior recreation and well-being lead Marina Foreman said: “We’ve followed Captain Tom’s journey closely since last spring having been inspired by his incredible achievements. After giving us so much hope last year, we wanted to take part in our own 100-lap challenge in memory of the great man.

"Almost 30 of us took part throughout the day, with the oldest resident among us being 97.

'We just wanted to do our small part for a man who has made us all feel very proud to be British during these hard times.'

"We all had cards that would get stamped upon completion of each lap to the tune of You’ll Never Walk Alone.

"We also had a big banner adorned in the dining area in honour of Captain Tom, which spurred us all on – it was such a special occasion, and everyone embraced the challenge.

“Some of our residents who are unsteady on their feet or in wheelchairs were assisted by staff. It was a true team effort. We just wanted to do our small part for a man who has made us all feel very proud to be British during these hard times.”

Captain Sir Tom Moore shot to fame last year after completing 100 laps of his garden last Spring.

Following his death people of Kent took to their doorsteps again to clap for the veteran who died after testing positive for Covid-19.

His family said the last year of his life was "nothing short of remarkable" and that he had "experienced things he'd only ever dreamed of".
