99 year old Army veteran Tom Moore should receive a knighthood.
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
MPs should have a debate and lobby the Palace to give Tom Moore a knighthood for his services to his country and for his fundraising for the NHS.
The Government should talk to the Queen and ensure this man is knighted when he is living and publicly thanked for his determination and resilience.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We know lots of people want to petition for Colonel Moore to receive an honour, but the Government will only accept individual nominations, not petitions, so we can’t publish your petition.
