Up to £4.6M now.I think it is brilliant and it shows how generous the British public can be. What I would like to know though is where exactly the money will end up. I hope it will get to those who really need it, not just lost somewhere inside the NHS.
Btw, Tom's 100th birthday is on the 30th April
Tom’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, who set up his JustGiving page, tweeted: ‘We are overwhelmed by the response. Thank you — and a huge thank you to our NHS…we are behind you every step.’ You can send a birthday card to ‘Captain Tom Moore C/O Post Office Limited, 67 Bedford Road, MK43 0LA’.

What a wonderful, wonderful man! It’s hard to believe this dear gent is just two weeks off his 100th bithday!
What he is doing and the reason he is doing it is an eyeopener for the ‘louts’ of today. Many lessons can be learnt from this.
A suggestion for his 100th birthday? It has to be an honour with his birthday card from the Queen
