What the petition asks
Ask the queen to place ninety nine year old Tom Moore on the Honours list for his outstanding fund raising to help with the covid 19 crisis.
As far as I am aware, the government is responsible for the Honours list. Also, I think he is and would be, an inspiration to millions of people in the UK and beyond.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
Members of the public can nominate people for honours directly. You can find out how to nominate someone for an honour here:
