Rejected petition Recognise Captain Tom Moore with an honour for services to charity

At the age of 99 years, Captain Tom Moore has raised over £12 Million (and counting) for NHS charities during the Covid-19 pandemic. He should be formally recognised for this amazing contribution to our nation’s effort to combat the virus.

More details

Having already risked his life in the service of our country during WW2, Captain Moore’s continued selflessness, cheerfulness and grit in the face of adversity is an inspiration to us all; he is a prime example of what it means to be British.

He is a beacon of positivity and determination during the most difficult time our country has faced for generations, and is absolutely deserving of formal recognition for his contribution.
