Captain Tom Moore, 99, has become the oldest artist to reach the top spot of BBC Radio 1's The Official Chart.
His rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone is the fastest-selling single of 2020, with 82,000 copies and proceeds going to the NHS Charities Together fund.
After previously raising more than £28m ($34m) with a sponsored walk around his Bedfordshire back garden, he collaborated with Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care Choir to release the song.
The previous oldest chart-topper, Welsh singer Tom Jones, sent a message of congratulations to the war veteran.
"If I was going to lose my record to anyone, it was an an honour to lose it to you," said Jones, who was 68 when he sang on charity single Barry Islands in the Stream, which reached number one in 2009.
