Rejected

What the petition asks
Captain Tom Moore deserves a knighthood for his 100th birthday for his outstanding fundraising for the NHS during the Covid-19 crisis
Not only is Captain Tom Moore a war hero, he is a modern day hero. At 99 years old he has walked round his garden and raised over £6 million (at time of writing) and deserves to be knighted on his 100th birthday
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.
