Residents of the U.K. on Thursday celebrated the 100th birthday of a World War II veteran who has raised the equivalent of $40 million during the coronavirus pandemic, sending him more than 125,000 birthday cards, according to The New York Times.

Tom Moore has in recent weeks raised millions in donations for the British National Health Service after pledging to make 100 laps of his garden with his walker. In addition to the cards, Moore has received congratulations from members of the royal family and a cake with a replica Spitfire war plane on top from the BBC, according to the Times.

“Capt. Tom, I know I speak for the whole country when I say we wish you a very happy 100th birthday,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who himself recently recovered from a bout with the virus that briefly landed him in intensive care, said in a video posted on Twitter.

A pair of Royal Air Force planes, a Hurricane and a Spitfire, also conducted a flyover of Moore’s home in Bedfordshire on Thursday.

The U.K. has seen more than 26,000 deaths from the virus of at least 165,000 cases, following an initial hands-off approach that the government later jettisoned in favor of a sweeping lockdown order. On Thursday, British Justice Minister Robert Buckland said the country may miss its target of 100,000 daily tests by the end of the month. The country conducted over 52,400 tests Wednesday, according to the Times.
