Old Soldiers never die, they just fade aw.............

What!

If that's fading away, then I hope I'm like him at 99!

Go Captain Tom!

Yea Tom! Seriously, our local Hospitals, food banks, etc are really stressed for resources right now. Please take some of that watch money and donate. Interestingly, here it is even possible to work with restaurants and the hospitals to buy lunch for staff. Be like Tom.

Amazing. Utterly Amazing.
Its a huge thanks to him and every single person that donated!
This morning when I checked he just hit the £5M 😀 Now I see its over £8M

Faith in humanity still shines at times of need 👍

And yes to think his initial aim was to raise £1000 for either an iPad or phones to donate to NHS 😲

Upto over 12m now. Fantastic.

His country needed him 75 years ago, and he's still giving... Need to make him an honorary Major!

He needs to be Sir Tom Moore. Once a hero, always a hero

Still going up!

I believe today is the 100th birthday, and I hear he was officially promoted straight to Colonel as well!
Congrats and Happy Birthday to Col. Tom! Such a good story.

Stufflers Mom · Apr 30, 2020

He's now raised over £30M and had a No1 record and had a Spitfire fly past over his house this morning to mark his 100th Birthday and a telegram from the Queen.
2020 awards in the UK all have to go to Tom.
Sir Tom
Sports Personality of the year
Pride of Britain
Fund raiser of the year
plus any other awards going, he deserves the lot.

We're wishing Captain (honorary Colonel) Tom Moore a very happy 100th birthday !

Thomas Moore is a true Hero for fighting for our freedom in the Second World War, not for walking around his garden for the NHS ‘Heroes’ like the media would have you believe. The fact we are raising money for the NHS in the first place is a disgrace, especially when you consider how many billions the U.K. gives away in foreign aid. I would much prefer to see that money go to Charities that support ‘Real Heroes’ who have long been forgotten i.e ex military.

‘Sadly though no one would be talking about Thomas if he hadn’t walked 100 metres around his garden.
