A knighthood for Captain Tom!
As Captain Tom approaches his 100th birthday, he has already raised a simply unbelievable £17m for NHS charities by walking round his garden. He is an absolute inspiration. He fought before for our country and now he is fighting again. An immediate knighthood would be a fabulous birthday present, one that the entire country would celebrate.
Why is this important?
Such recognition of someone with such grit and determination is way more important than “honouring” sports people or politicians or civil servants or random celebrities. Let’s take care of Captain Tom and then think about all the other ordinary heroes doing extraordinary things at the moment.
