Live: Captain Sir Tom Moore’s funeral with soldier pallbearers & gun salute

Описание: CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore’s funeral is set to be "spectacular" with soldier pallbearers and feature a gun salute from his former regiment.

Sir Tom, whose final send off is tomorrow, served with the Duke of Wellington's Regiment during the Second World War.

It later merged with two others from Yorkshire, becoming the Yorkshire Regiment, and Sir Tom was made an Honorary Colonel last August.

Six soldiers from the regiment will carry Sir Tom's coffin into the crematorium near his family home in Bedfordshire.

His daughter Lucy Teixeira, 52, said the service will be "quite spectacular", adding: "There's just going to be the eight of us under full Covid restrictions, we will honour him the best way we possibly can.

"My sister and I have been creating the funeral that my father wanted.

"He was very clear in his wishes and if he could have been put into a cardboard box, he would have done that, rather than chop down a tree."

She says the family has received many messages from well-wishers, and that it was "wonderful" to see people writing in an online book of condolence.

A firing party of 14 will each fire three rounds in unison, and a bugler will sound The Last Post at the end of the private service.
