A woman accused of causing criminal damage to a memorial for Sir Tom Moore is due to appear in court today after faeces and urine were thrown over the hero’s memorial.
21-year-old Madeline Budd, of Kedleston Avenue, in Hatton, Derbyshire, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today (4th October).
Officers from the Metropolitan Police arrested Budd on behalf of Derbyshire Constabulary on Sunday, 2nd October.
Captain Sir Tom became a household name during the Covid-19 pandemic when he set out to complete laps around his garden to raise money for the NHS.
By the time he reached his 100th birthday, he had raised nearly £33m for the NHS and other charities.
The highly decorated Army veteran died in February 2021.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

The police have a difficult job to do and by and large they do it pretty well and so called “charities” should let them get on with it as THEY don’t stand the chance of being shot and killed by a suspected gunman if they are slow in reacting. IF the deceased was innocent, WHY did he refuse to stop as that’s the sign of a guilty person?
