WW2 veteran, 100, walks 660 miles around his garden to raise money for charity

A 100-year-old Second World War veteran has walked hundreds of miles around his garden to raise money for charity after being inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore. War hero Lance Corporal Harold Jones laps his back garden 30 times every day in all weather conditions and has been doing so since 2020. The great-grandfather-of-six started walking circuits around his bungalow during lockdown after being inspired by the efforts of the late Captain Tom. As the anniversary of his death approaches in two weeks time, Howard is still racking up the steps in honour of the Captain who touched the hearts of the nation. The centenarian has now clocked up an impressive 41,550 laps – 661 miles in total, which is the equivalent of walking from his home near Birmingham to Germany.
