Former nurse and soldier, Sarah Atherton, wrote to Captain Tom ahead of his 100th birthday thanking him for his fundraising efforts.
Sarah said:
"I write on behalf of myself and the people of Wrexham to thank you for your amazing contribution to our NHS through your 100 laps and your No1 hit single. Wow - what an achievement!
"We are all so proud and indebted, and it has spurred us on to help our own communities in whatever way we can, here in Wrexham.
"As a veteran, a member of the Defence Select Committee and a resident of Wrexham - thank you and happy birthday."
