Fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore's name has been dropped from the foundation set up in his honour.

The Captain Tom Foundation is now known as the 1189808 Foundation, reflecting the organisation's charity number.

It comes just over two months after the charities watchdog found there had been "repeated" misconduct and mismanagement on the part of Sir Tom's daughter and her husband in their running of the foundation.

The Charity Commission's report found a "repeated pattern of behaviour" which saw Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin make private gains and which the regulator said will have left the public feeling "misled".

It found a £1.4m book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits the Ingram-Moores enjoyed through family links to the foundation.

At the time of the commission's report in November, a spokesperson for the foundation said it was "imploring the Ingram-Moores to rectify matters by returning the funds due" to the charity.

The couple argued it was a "breach of privacy" for the book deal to have been disclosed. They also said "significant fees" had been paid to the literary agent, legal and PR professionals, as well as some money having "supported" the foundation.

The Ingram-Moores were banned last year from being charity trustees, with Mrs Ingram-Moore barred from being a trustee or holding a senior management role in any charity in England and Wales for 10 years, and Mr Ingram-Moore for eight years.

Both had resigned as directors of the foundation.

The millions raised by the late Sir Tom and donated to NHS Charities Together before the foundation was formed were not part of the commission's inquiry.
