You'll never walk alone (Captain Tom Moore’s 100th Birthday Walk)

Captain Tom Moore, Michael Ball & The NHS Voices of Care Choir

Captain Tom Moore, 99, has become the oldest artist to reach No. 1 in the Official Singles Chart.

His duet of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ with musical theatre star Michael Ball is the fastest-selling single of 2020, with 82,000 copies sold and all proceeds going to the NHS Charities Together fund.

Moore, a Second World War veteran, has captured the nation’s hearts since raising almost £29 million for the NHS by walking 25m lengths of his family’s garden in Bedfordshire.

Speaking from his home in Bedfordshire, where he lives with daughter Hannah and her family, Captain Tom said: “What wonderful news to receive today, a No.1 single and a record breaker too – my grandchildren can’t believe I am a chart-topper!”
