Lewis Hamilton praises 'inspiration' Captain Tom Moore

Captain Tom Moore has captured the hearts of the British public as he attempted to completed 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday, and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton was 'blown away' as anyone else.

The act of lapping ones garden may seem simple to some, but 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore proved an inspiration to the British public by completing this act, attracting the attention of even Lewis Hamilton.

"What a legend! Captain Tom Moore is a total inspiration, raising over £13 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden," wrote Hamilton on Instagram. "I am blown away by his amazing achievement.

"Congratulations Captain Tom, we could all learn something from you!"

A World War Two veteran, Moore had originally aimed to raise £1000, but with over 650,000 separate donors, this target has been completely obliterated and there are growing calls for Moore to receive a knighthood for his act of generosity.
