CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore has expressed his love for a Bradford district museum.
The 100-year-old fundraiser returned to his hometown of Keighley last week and during his trip he described his love of Cliffe Castle.
In a video during an interview for Welcome to Yorkshire, he said: “It’s a delightful building.
“Wherever I go, I tell people I’m from Keighley. I’m bore and bred in Keighley. I am a true, dye in the wool Yorkshireman.”
Bradford Museums and Galleries responded on Twitter today, saying it has ‘made their day’ to have a ringing endorsement from the national treasure.
This has made our day! #SirTomMoore recalls #CliffeCastle in #Keighley and describes it a 'delightful building'. Thanks Sir Tom - we think so too 😊. #CliffeCastle opened as one of our museum sites in 1959. (from 2mins 25 secs of the interview). - LP https://t.co/e1qNinHNCz pic.twitter.com/1co9Toxt02
