A 99-year-old war heroine who worked on the top secret preparations for the D-Day landings, has followed in Captain Tom’s footsteps by walking 100 laps of her garden – and she’s still got more to give.👏👏👏
Great-grandmother, Marjorie West, has raised more than £8,000 for the NHS since she began her challenge, but she is not stopping there, saying she will keep going “until she can’t do anymore”.
Like Captain Tom, Marjorie played a pivotal role in British efforts during World War Two and last year she was presented with the Legion d’Honneur, France’s highest military honour.
