Red-Robbo Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 What an inspiration. And anyone who fought in Burma deserves the utmost respect as it is. You aren't really supposed to use your Army rank if you left service unless you are a major or above, but in Tom's case, I'm happy to make an exception. Lt Robbo salutes you, sir. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikep Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 In all the doom and gloom at the moment, it is so refreshing to see such a truly magnificent effort by a wonderfully unselfish gentleman. Most of the time I am frankly embarrassed to be British but, then comes along Captain Tom Moore. Give him a knighthood now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 £12.5M!! Just donated. This man deserves to have a ward or wing at a hospital named after him. And an online petition to get Capt Tom a Knighthood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Been invited to open the Nightingale hospital in Harrogate by NHS England. Surely he can't actually go? Prince Charles and Prince William have both opened Nightingale hospitals remotely, the risk to this man given his age is surely too great? EDIT: I can see that Capt Tom is going to appear by video link. Edited April 18, 2020 by BanburyRed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
