Captain Sir Tom Moore was a household name during the first Covid-19 lockdown.

His daughter and son-in-law displayed a "pattern of behaviour" in which they benefitted personally from the Captain Tom Foundation .

The 38.9 m raised by Capt Sir Tom for NHS Charities Together did not form part of the inquiry.

All of that sum went to NHS charities, and all of that money went to the NHS charities.

Report found "repeated failures of governance and integrity" in charity.

Charity Commission found the Ingram-Moores failed to consult the trustees about the spa complex.

Mrs Ingram-Moore was "very much involved in discussions around setting her salary", report found.

She removed the conflicts of interest clause from her employment contract with the charity.

The couple were disqualified from being a trustee or senior management position in charities for eight and 10 years respectively.
