www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52278746Remarkable tenacity from the veteran. Started off hoping to raise £1000,by doing laps of his garden,for the hospital and staff that helped him convalesce after a hip break and a battle with cancer. Absolutely obliterated that target and hitherto has raised over 4 million Staggering,edifying effort. What a hero.

Over 12m now. Superb effort Sir.
Imagine some donations are even from 'snowflakes'... possibly even some 'snowflakes' working in the NHS. Remarkable stuff all round.

Isn't that just typical of you to find a negative, spiteful angle to what this great old gentleman is doing. The irony of course is that Captain Tom would never come out with garbage like that. |

Incredible achievement but it is tinged with genuine anger for me that this is what we have to do to fund our Health service properly.
I wish the bloke well and he deserves a knighthood.

Sad isn't it that we'll happily stand and applaud our NHS workers from our doorsteps and a fantastic 99 year old bloke doing laps of his garden raises £15m, but when it comes to voting at general elections for parties that will actually fund our public services properly through taxation, oh no...don't like the idea of that.... I wonder how many of those applauding from their doorways have actually voted for austerity several times over the last ten years? I'd wager quite a few. I wonder if they get the irony? I'd guess not in the slightest. An austerity which came about as a direct result of a recession triggered by the financial crisis. |

Fantastic achievement by Tom , it's just a drop in the bucket though and in no way constitutes proper funding . Don't forget the £350 million extra weekly funds 😉😉😉😉 |

I note from the BBC that he's being made up to a Colonel.
I must admit I was hoping they would give him a 'promotion' to mark his achievement, but I was hoping he would have been promoted to Major.
Major Tom has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to it.
Anyway, happy birthday Tom.

Happy Birthday Captain Tom Moore, what a Legend.
His daughter would make a good presenter, she seems very confident and eloquent.
