Knighthood for Captain Tom Moore age 99 for raising over £13 million for our NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Captain Tom Moore aged 99 fought for our country in the Second World War with distinction and now has been fighting again for our country to raise £13 million for the NHS in these tough times.
If this isn’t going above and beyond for his country on many different levels I don’t know what is.
Please help push forward an honour for Captain Tom Moore who is again fighting for the country he loves so much.
Tom Moore has again gone to battle for Great Britain and should be rewarded for his efforts.
Not only has he inspired a nation again by showing that, even at the age of 99 you can still get out there and exercise but he has raised a substantial amount of money that will greatly benefit the country in the time of need. I think he is worthy to receive the honour of a knighthood.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
