The flag outside Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has been lowered to half-mast in honour of the late Captain Tom.
It was announced that Sir Tom Moore had died yesterday at the age of 100 following a short battle with coronavirus.
He won millions of fans worldwide last year when he raised millions for the NHS by completing 100 laps of his house.
A spokesman for Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council said: "We’re flying our Union flag at half-mast today to mark the sad death of Captain Sir Tom Moore yesterday."
Residents can view the flag outside the council's offices at the bottom of War Memorial Park.
