Captain Tom Moore, Age 100, Awarded Knighthood for Coronavirus Fundraising

[Em in Ohio]

This man is such a huge inspiration! He walked around his property to raise a bit of money for the national health care workers. It ballooned into £32,794,701 after the video of his walk went viral. When asked if he thought he would be knighted, he dismissed the idea as lovely, but not realistic. Well, now it is real - and so well deserved! "Captain Sir Tom Moore!"

Definitely deserved... we're all very proud of him

You should, few care about others as much.

 

[Laurie]

For once an honour well earned, rather than a time served politician or civil servant.

 

[Lewkat]

Wonderful. A more deserving person, I cannot imagine these days.

 

[The wanderer]

A man worthy of recognition.
