How many children do Hannah and Colin have?
They have two children, Benji and Georgia, and live in the village of Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire.
Speaking of his grandad’s passing, Benji said: “The volume of cards that have been sent to granddad is just astonishing.
“So many of the cards are truly heartfelt with thousands from young children who have taken the time to use their artistic talent and write a personal message.”
What has Colin said about Captain Sir Tom Moore?
Colin encouraged his father after the veteran joked he was training for the next marathon when he completed his first lap around the garden.
He said: “Don’t stop. Let’s see how many you can manage.
“I tell you what, Hannah and I will give you £1 per lap. so why not see if you can do 100 by your hundredth birthday.”
Sadly, Captain Tom passed away on on February 2, 2021,
In a statement at the time, the Ingram-Moore family said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore.
“We are so grateful that we were with him during the last hours of his life; Hannah, Benjie and Georgia by his bedside and Lucy on FaceTime. We spent hours chatting to him, reminiscing about our childhood and our wonderful mother. We shared laughter and tears together.
“The last year of our father’s life was nothing short of remarkable. He was rejuvenated and experienced things he’d only ever dreamed of.
“Whilst he’d been in so many hearts for just a short time, he was an incredible father and grandfather, and he will stay alive in our hearts forever.”
Following Captain Tom’s passing, his daughter Hannah revealed that Sir Tom’s family had kept £800K from books he had written.
In a candid interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan in October 2023, she revealed how her late father had wanted his family to keep the money from the three books in Club Nook Ltd – which is a firm separate to the Captain Tom Foundation charity.
Colin was also quizzed by Piers about the money.
Speaking after interview, he said: “This was one of the most difficult interviews of my career . . . the bottom line is they should never have accepted or kept a penny from anything to do with Captain Tom and public money.
“It wasn’t just a clear conflict of interest, and deeply unethical, it was a betrayal of his legacy.”
The family admitted in the interview that no one now wants to touch them or their associated companies.
