Tom Hardy will reportedly narrate a documentary on Colonel Tom Moore as part of the BBC’s VE Day coverage.
The World War II veteran has raised over £30 million for the NHS Charities Together by walking laps of his garden before his 100th birthday on Thursday (April 30).
He will be part of the broadcaster’s programming schedule on Friday.
BBC One is set to air VE Day 75: The Announcement Of Victory this week.
A special film focusing on Captain Tom’s life will cover his childhood, years in the Armed Forces and his latest fundraising efforts.
Enjoying a day of rest and the opportunity to reflect on a wonderful day celebrating my 100th birthday. So many well wishes and memorable moments the family will always cherish. Thank you all once again!#TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay https://t.co/drElKcks2w
