Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
In the next honours list, make Captain Tom Moore a knight of the realm.
At time of writing, this unbelievable 99 year old war veteran has raised circa 9 million pounds for the NHS during the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic. His feat and will are what personifies everything about The United Kingdom and our national spirit.
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.
