WATCH: Frodsham claps for Captain Tom

At 6pm this evening (Wednesday), through the noise of cars passing by, one could hear Frodsham's residents step outside to clap for Captain Sir Tom Moore.

Captain Tom, a World War Two veteran, raised over £30 million for NHS charities last year by walking around his garden, just ahead of his 100th birthday.

He died yesterday, having contracted Covid-19.

Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, led the minute-long applause for this 'inspirational' Covid hero.

Today, he told the Commons: "We all now have the opportunity to show our appreciation for him and all that he stood for and believed in.

"That is why I encourage everyone to join in a national clap for Captain Tom and all those health workers for whom he raised money at 6pm this evening."
