A boy with autism and cerebral palsy who was inspired by Captain Tom Moore to walk a marathon to raise money for a local hospital and school, has said it felt “magnificent” to have completed his challenge.

Tobias Weller, nine, uses a walking frame and was only managing about 50m a day before lockdown began.

Well-wishers outside his home in Sheffield cheered him on as he completed his challenge of walking 26.2 miles (42km) over 70 days up and down the street,

His mum, Ruth Garbutt said she was “bursting with pride”.
