Give the inspiration that is Tom Moore, a knighthood from our majesty the Queen!

What the petition asks
we would like Tom Moore to be given a Knighthood from the Queen. Not only has he fought in the war and overcome the hardship from it but has now at 99 years old, raised over 12 million pounds! What an absolute inspiration to the millions around our country!
What Tom has done should be nationally recognised for the spirit, and courage it has taken for somebody off his age and health to complete to help our NHS in times of such hardship. Tom should be knighted.
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.
