Give Captain Tom Moore a knighthood
Captain tom Moore is 100 on april 30th and wanted to raise £1000 by walking 100 laps of his garden with his zimmer frame as a way of thanking the nhs for his hip replacement. He has,at last look raised over £7,000,000. Surely this deserves a knighthood?
Tom was born and brought up in Keighley, Yorkshire. He went to Keighley Grammar School and later completed an apprenticeship as a Civil Engineer. Tom went onto being enlisted in 8 DWR (145 RAC) at the beginning of the war, and in 1940 was selected for Officer training. He was later posted to 9DWR in India, and served and fought on the Arakan, went to Regiment to Sumatra after the Japanese surrender and returned to be Instructor at Armoured Fighting Vehicle School in Bovington.
