It may not be possible but could his proper title be respected in the thread name. I think it is Captain Sir Tom Moore. Although he was also promoted to Honorary Colonel. I think the Sir bit is rather important. He’d probably not have given a damn though, but I do.
Sad to see him go, but what a cracking last few months he had. Raised 33m for the NHS Meet the Queen to get an Knighthood Several TV appearances Nr1 Chart Hit Bucket List holiday to Barbados in December. Had his 100th birthday with thousands of cards And I’m sure he will be remembered by many as a great Corvid tonic.
R.I.P Captain Tom. So sorry you lost this battle. But I know now you will sit on the right hand of our Lord and Father. Sir I just want to say Thankyou for so much including the freedom myself and Family have today. You have that well deserved rest now. Condolences to all your family and friends. Joe.
I am so happy he was knighted before this bastid virus took him and his inspiration from us. RIP Sir Tom ❤️
Can't add to all the tributes, just agree with them all. I had really hoped he would pull through but sadly that wasn't to be,
Much respect to the old soldier. His "can do" attitude was heart warming . Just goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it. Old soldiers never weaken . I'm surprised he didn't walk it off . Time for him to rest with much respect from us all.
There's been calls to erect a statue to Captain Tom, even putting him on a bank note was mentioned today on the radio. I think the latter is a brilliant idea and what a great way to remember him. Top man.
I think this is perfectly beautiful and perfectly encapsulates what this selfless man did for so many of us; Good man Captain Sir Thomas MOORE.
There is now a petition to try and get him a state funeral, and while I agree with the sentiment I am not altogether sure the man would have wanted the fuss, but I have signed all the same as he deserves recognition for all his deeds. https://www.change.org/p/u-k-govern...old-a-state-funeral-for-captain-sir-tom-moore
