Did you know?

Cpt Tom Moore (now made an Honorary Colonel) has broken two Guinness World Records on his way to making nearly £30million for the NHS. Although the 100-year-old is not from the Felixstowe area, we are keeping with the RHS gardening week theme as the centurion strolled more than 100 times in what is possibly the most famous garden in the world right now. Captain Tom is the oldest person ever to reach number one in the record charts, and has raised more money than anyone else the world doing a charity walk.
