I saw this on the BBC news. It will make people angry if they find they have been exploited.

From the Telegraph today:

“The foundation set up in the name of Captain Sir Tom Moore by his daughter is under investigation by the Charity Commission over a possible “significant profit” generated for her company.

The statutory inquiry is examining a deal done by Sir Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin through their own company to register trademarks relating to “Captain Tom”

I think it’s a real shame if someone is found to have been coining it in on the back of the original charity. Where big money arises it's sometimes seen as an opportunity by someone.
