Feb. 27, 2021, CTV News "Second World War plane flyby marks Capt. Tom Moore's funeral" AP.
Church bells rang and a Second World War II-era plane flew over Saturday's service to honor Captain Tom Moore who single-handedly raised millions of pounds for Britain's health workers by walking laps in his backyard.
Soldiers performed ceremonial duties for Moore, who died Feb. 2 at age 100 after testing positive for COVID-19
The service was small, attended by just eight members of his immediate family. But soldiers carried the coffin and fired a gun salute while a C-47 Dakota Transport plane flew past.
Moore served during the war in India, Burma and Sumatra.
He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in a socially distant ceremony at Windsor Castle.
