A well-deserved knighthood!

Captain Tom Moore is to be knighted for his fundraising efforts after a special nomination from the prime minister.

"The war veteran raised more than £32m for NHS charities by completing 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday in April.

As an honorary colonel, his official title will be Captain Sir Thomas Moore under Ministry of Defence protocol."

I'm really pleased for him Baz, he deserves to be honoured.
He is a sweetheart and his family must be very proud of him.

Re: A well-deserved knighthood!

Rightly so - rather him than some silly footballer/pop singer or so called celebrity.

Re: A well-deserved knighthood!

After a hundred laps he kept on going!
Because people were still donating
It wasn't til his 100th birthday that he finally stopped because his family insisted he did!

What a guy!
