Give Tom Moore a Knighthood
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
As of 16/04/20, 99 year old Captain Tom Moore has raised more than £12m for charity by walking 100 lads of his garden. No one should be more deserving of a Knighthood that this man.
Just walking 100 steps is a feat itself for someone of his age so to do 100 laps of his garden and then on top of that raise more than £12m for the NHS (and still counting) is amazing. Many people every year get awarded a Knighthood but no one deserves one more than Captain Tom.
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.
