Captain Tom Moore to be knighted for fund-raising services as soon as it is safe
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Captain Moore has not only raised a large amount of money for the NHS very rapidly, he has shown the nation the characteristics needed in this extraordinary time: resilience, determination, modesty and a commitment to help others.
It is usual for government to make recommendations to HM The Queen for the New Year's Honour list. Given the extraordinary circumstances, there should be no delay, and Captain Tom should be knighted as soon as it is safe to do so.
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.
