Captain Tom Moore’s daughter has appeared to hit back at critics in a cryptic Instagram post after she was slammed about a planning row over a spa complex at her home.
Hannah Ingram-Moore posted a photo of two dogs with the caption ‘Dogs don’t judge x’ set to the tune of Queen’s ‘You’re My Best Friend’ two days ago.
Her post quickly received supportive responses with one saying ‘Hope you are all well. Ignore the trolls x.’
Another told her: ‘So true, gorgeous dogs. I do prefer them to most people. You’re doing a brilliant job your father would be proud.’
Hannah is yet to publicly address the backlash over her spa application, but the cryptic post could be a way to hit back at critics.
Captain Tom’s family will find out if they have to bulldoze their pool and spa complex in their garden built ‘using the name of the lockdown hero’ as a date has been set for their appeal hearing.
It comes after furious neighbours called for the demolition of the ‘ugly’ outbuilding in the grounds of the £1.2million home of the NHS fundraiser’s daughter Hannah and her husband Colin, in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire.

Sir Captain Tom Moore’s daughter has refused to knock down a spa and pool extension at her £1.2m home after angry neighbours demanded it be demolished
In March they were ordered to demolish it by Central Bedfordshire Council.
Colin appealed to the Planning Inspectorate in May and now a hearing date has been set for October 17.
The Ingram-Moores originally applied in 2021 for permission to build the ‘Captain Tom Foundation Building’ in their garden which was approved ‘in connection with the Captain Tom Foundation and its charitable objectives’.
The building has been branded an ‘eyesore’, ‘overbearing’ and ‘out of character’ with the neighbouring Grade II listed building by angry neighbours – who signed a petition to get it knocked down.
But the plans were revised in February last year, and the family submitted revised plans for the already partially-constructed spa complex.
These new plans included a spa pool, toilets and a kitchen which planning documents said were for ‘private use’.
And in November, the council refused to give retrospective planning permission for the revised application for the larger building and in March the family were ordered to demolish it.
The council’s legal documents state that there were ‘significant differences between the approved and constructed buildings’ and that it ‘does not consider that the requirement to demolish the building is excessive’.

Sir Captain Tom Moore’s son-in-law Colin Ingram-Moore submitted an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate defending his new spa, saying it was ‘no more overbearing than the consented scheme’ as building heights were ‘the same’ so there ‘cannot be an unacceptable overbearing impact’.
He added that there ‘are no grounds supporting the refusal of the retrospective application’.
Central Bedfordshire Council had earlier confirmed in a statement that the original application for the office had been approved.
But it added: ‘In February 2022, we subsequently received a retrospective planning application for a ‘part retrospective erection of detached single storey building (revised proposals)’. This was refused.
‘An enforcement notice requiring the demolition of the now unauthorised building was issued and this is now subject to an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.’
Sir Tom raised £38.9 million for the NHS, including gift aid, by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday at the height of the first national Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. He died in February 2021.
