'I'm no different today than I was yesterday': Captain Tom reflects on turning 100
A 100-year old war veteran from Bedfordshire says raising more than £31m for charity is "far beyond what he could have imagined".
Captain Tom Moore originally wanted to raise £1,000 by walking 100 laps of his garden in Marston Moretaine neat Bedford.
Almost overnight his story went international, and that fundraising total shot up well into the tens of millions.

Three weeks ago Capt Tom told us that one "little soul" like him couldn't make much difference, but today, the world saluted him.
Messages and tributes have been flooding in from all over the world to mark his big birthday.
Speaking to ITV News Anglia's Rebecca Haworth, Capt Tom told said: "Day after day the money has got bigger and bigger and bigger, far beyond anything we imagined in the first place.
"All the people that need all our money, who are doing such a good job, deserve every penny."
Capt Tom said "it was an honour" to be made an honorary colonel.
"Didn't everyone get a promotion overnight", he laughed.
"As far as the regular army is concerned, I am still captain. If I am trying to be posh I could say I am a colonel. I am very pleased to be given that honour, it is great!
"To me I am no different today than I was yesterday, but this seems to have made a difference to a lot of people.
"At 1920, I don't think anybody was thinking about 2020. I am sure when I was born my parents didn't think I would live till I was 100, so here I am. I know my father would be very pleased as I would be the oldest in my family.
"I've been looking forward to turning 100, now it is here, what am I going to do tomorrow."
