100-year-old British veteran Tom Moore, who became a national hero after raising more than $40 million for the NHS, was awarded the Freedom of the City of London during a virtual ceremony

Moore, 100, struck a chord with locked-down Britain by walking around his garden with the help of a walking frame to raise almost 33 million pounds for the National Health Service. His endeavor spread joy amid the grim news of the coronavirus outbreak.

The freedom of the City of London dates back to 1237 and signified that the holder was not owned by a feudal lord and had to right to trade in the heart of London’s ancient core. Moore, with what appeared to be a glass of champagne, was toasted. He smiled when told that the ancient privileges include being hanged with silk - rather than hemp - and the right to wander the city with his sword drawn.
