Rejected petition Captain Tom Moore should be given a knighthood for raising millions for the NHS

Captain Tom Moore has raised more than £15 million for the NHS after completing his challenge to walk 100 lengths of his garden.

More details

At aged 99 this is no small feat and truly represents the best of British spirit during the coronavirus. His efforts should be recognised by the Queen with a knighthood. The Government should put this request before the Queen so that Captain Tom Moore’s work can be officially recognised.
