Break out the tiny violins – Captain Tom’s daughter has lost her appeal to save her private spa

There was an outpouring of sympathy for the daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore, who was knighted for services to charity after raising millions of pounds for the NHS by walking up and down his garden at the age of 99.
Oh no, wait …there wasn’t.

I’ve heard his dying wish was for his family to have a home spa, complete with changing rooms and a state of the art sound system pumping music into the sauna.
Shame.

In honour of Captain Tom’s walk, they’ve gone as far as they could in one direction, and now they’re going to turn around and go back to where they started. https://t.co/AOwSsUQGXG

OBSESSED that Captain Tom’s family tried to get their spa building through the Council’s heritage assessment by saying that it was required for charitable purposes including presentations to the press??? https://t.co/XliBEU00xc pic.twitter.com/d8POFjMomt
