[Mozz71]

Good for him. Deserved.

[tamborine]

Coz ur worth it, Sir Tom

[waterboatman]

A Gentleman.

He does deserve it. Not because he's done the govts job for them and raised money for causes associated with the NHS, but because of his war service. Respect.

[DTCwordfan]

I agree with Clarion's comment.....well done for his service to life at large, rather than just for fund-raising.

[Bobbisox1]

Delighted

[iluvmargie]

Fabulous news. Well done lovely Captain Tom x

[New Judge]

I've been puzzled by this gentleman's (undoubtedly worthy) efforts for a while. What exactly has he raised money for? The reports always say "NHS Charities". What are they?

I thought he was supposed to be an honorary colonel now.
Whilst applauding his achievement, the amount of interest he attracted was down to fortune. Folk do sponsored walks all the time; one wonders if they are all going to get knighthoods.

not so many of them right now, OG, given the danger of arrest once you step outside your front gate. So congratulations to him for finding a way round the regulations. It's time I did a sponsored lawn-mow.
