What happened to the Captain Tom Foundation? A timeline of its controversies
Three-and-a-half years after veteran fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore became a national treasure, he and his family remain household names.
However, in recent months the charity in his name has become mired in controversy, with his daughter most recently admitting keeping £800,000 of profits from the three books he wrote.
Speaking to Piers Morgan in an interview broadcast on Thursday, Hannah Ingram-Moore said that her father wanted his family to get the profits from book sales, rather than his charity - the Captain Tom Foundation.
While his legacy of raising millions of pounds for NHS charities is not in doubt, controversies around the charity have endured.
Here is a full timeline of how the Captain Tom Foundation was set up and how it has found itself at the centre of financial investigations.

When the nation was told to stay indoors amid the first Covid-19 lockdown, war veteran Captain Tom walked 100 laps around his garden in Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday.

Tom teamed up with legendary singer Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care Choir to record a rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

February 2022
Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter says she can still feel the presence of her father “in everything” around her, as the family marked the first anniversary of the fundraiser's death.
The controversies begin, as charities watchdog The Charity Commission announces it is investigating the Captain Tom Foundation after concerns were raised over its accounts and governance.
The investigation came after the charity paid more than £50,000 to companies run by Mrs Ingram-Moore and her husband.
They were both appointed trustees of the charity in February 2021, though Mrs Ingram-Moore resigned six weeks later, while her husband remained as one of three trustees.

The Charity Commission opens a probe into the charity after identifying fresh "concerns" about his family's involvement.
It said it would investigate payments by the charity to a company linked to Mrs Ingram-Moore and her husband's companies, in a statutory inquiry focused on the foundation's independence from the family.
July 2023
The Captain Tom Foundation stops taking donations amid a probe into its finances by a charity watchdog.
Planning chiefs had already ordered an unauthorised building to be demolished at the family's Bedfordshire home, after retrospective plans for a building containing a spa pool were rejected.
Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband applied for permission to build a "Captain Tom Foundation Building" in the garden of their home in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, in 2021.
The building was approved to be used "in connection with the Captain Tom Foundation and its charitable objectives", but later revised after a larger building containing a spa pool was built.
Ms Ingram-Moore appeals against the demolition order.
September 2023
A probe into the charity had a "massive adverse impact" on fundraising, the charity claims, as accounts revealed that the late veteran's daughter received more than £70,000 to head the charity.
Accounts reveal that the income at the charity more than halved from £1m in the 2021 financial year, to just £400,000 for the 18 months from June 2021 to November 2022.
