Colonel Tom Moore brings viewers to tears during Piers Morgan's Life Stories

Colonel Tom Moore brought viewers to tears during Piers Morgan’s Life Stories as he detailed his time during the war.

The 100-year-old – who raised more than £32million for the NHS during the pandemic – joined the ITV host for a rather emotional interview.

When Piers asked the hero if he ever feared for his life during the war he simply replied: ‘It was tough at times but the whole object was to beat the enemy.

‘I was just a soldier, I was just one of many people fighting for the same cause.

‘I thought maybe I’ll get through this one and we will win – I had survived unharmed and I was one of the lucky ones.’

Speaking about the importance of his war medals, he continued: ‘I think the medals are very important, it shows I was there and so many people don’t remember what it was like so maybe it will make people think.’

Taking to social media during the interview, viewers admitted to shedding a tear or two.

One viewer tweeted: ‘Sir Tom brings me to tears. Some right now should look at him.’

While another said: ‘I’m not crying, you’re crying.’

One added: ‘The programme has been on for 16 minutes and I’ve already cried.’

Life Stories with Piers Morgan continues on Sunday, at 8pm, on ITV.
