Captain Tom's daughter says a million-pound spa complex is a tribute to his memory.

Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, has said the controversial luxury pool and spa complex built on the grounds of their family home was meant to be part of her father's legacy.

In a recent interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, Hannah explained that the paperwork was filed after her father's death, but that the name was never intended to be the Captain Tom Foundation - it was supposed to be the Captain Tom Building. She clarified that the misunderstanding was their responsibility and that they had accepted it.

Ms Ingram-Moore also clarified that no charity money was used for the building, and that it had been paid for with personal funds. She also said that if the family were allowed to keep it, they would discuss what they could do.

Central Bedfordshire Council had refused a retrospective planning application, and an enforcement notice was issued requiring the demolition of the now-unauthorised building.

Captain Sir Tom Moore had raised £38.9 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday at the height of the first national Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. He was knighted by the late Queen during a unique open-air ceremony at Windsor Castle in summer 2020, but sadly passed away in February 2021.

Hannah and her family have received death threats due to the huge public backlash to the building, but they hope that people understand that no charity funds were used. Hannah also wishes for people to understand the intent behind the building, which was to honour her father's legacy.
