What the petition asks
We would request that Captain Tom Moore be knighted for his outstanding contribution to raising money for the NHS
Captain Tom Moore originally wanted to raise £1,000 for NHS Charities Together by completing laps of his garden before his 100th birthday.
But he smashed his target after more than 650,000 people made donations to his fundraising page.
He has since raised over £13,000,000.00

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.
