Nominate Captain Tom for a knighthood in THIS YEAR'S Queen's birthday honours.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Fast-track a nomination for Captain Tom to be rewarded for his services to charity (NHS).

He is nearly 100 years old and has inspired the nation. In addition, he has raised a tremendous amount of money. Usually, nominations take over a year but the government could expedite this.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition Her Majesty The Queen has approved a knighthood for Captain Tom Moore, in recognition of his outstanding achievement in raising nearly £33 million for NHS charities.
