The flag above 10 Downing Street has been flying at half-mast in tribute.
"Her Majesty very much enjoyed meeting Capt Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Her thoughts, and those of the royal family, are with them, recognising the inspiration he provided for the whole nation and others across the world."
"Captain Sir Tom Moore was a hero in the truest sense of the word. In the dark days of the Second World War he fought for freedom and in the face of this country's deepest post-war crisis he united us all, he cheered us all up, and he embodied the triumph of the human spirit. He became not just a national inspiration but a beacon of hope for the world."
"With stubbornness, courage and optimism, he was the right man at the right time.
He was Britain as it needed to see itself: selfless, patriotic and undefeated - and never taking a backward step."
God speed.
