May I resurrect this thread to say how pleased I am that this wonderful man will now be known as Captain SIR Tom Moore?

Most people will know how much I don't believe in many of these honours being handed out to anyone and everyone for piffling little reasons but in this instance it is a well-deserved honour.

Many many congratulations Captain Sir Tom. :-)

Happy birthday COLONEL Tom, 100 years old today. Hope you have a lovely day.
So proud of you for raising nearly £30,000000 for our N.H.S.
I salute you <3 <3

Now past £27,000000, True what you say Kathleen, at least it is'nt taken out of the money you donate, there is a charge on top of what you donate, would sooner do it that way instead of them taking it from the donation.

It's great that so much money has been raised.

Just wanted to say to Liz that you can't blame the Just Giving website for taking a proportion of the money raised. The website was designed for charity giving so they couldn't take NO money from one particular charity and then charge all the others. They will have costs to cover like paying credit card fees for each donation made and they also have fees relating to keeping the website online as well as making a small profit.

At the end of the day Captain Tom couldn't have raised anywhere near this amount without Just Giving being there.

Yes he's been invited to open Harrogate Nightingale but he will be doing it by PC.

Just like William and Charles did.

JoyLouise

JoyLouise Report 19 Apr 2020 10:45

Apparently he has either been invited as a guest of honour or has been asked to open the Nightingale Hospital at Harrogate.

Two sources saying similar.

Too true Liz, they did donate £100,000 but agree for this they should not take the money. Nearly £25 & half million now.

I just read that the Just Giving page takes a proportion of money raised!

They should waive the fees at this time!

They need to be no 1 next Friday then it will be no 1 on his birthday,
La Gooner, yes he is lucky & loves his job.
Now very near to £23 million, his life will never be the same again, hope he did'nt want a quiet life when he reached 100, not going to get it now but think he willl enjoy it all.
