What the petition asks
This 99-year-old war veteran has walked 100 laps of his garden to raise more than £13m for the NHS.
In such dark times this brave, courageous and selfless individual has lit up the nation and proportionately made a larger contribution than any company, entrepreneur or institution.
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.
