Brilliant man, well done him!

He should be Sir Tom, ASAP.

He's incredible. Almost at ten million.

I’m wondering about Sports Personality of the Year......

justanotherneighinparadise · 15/04/2020 22:45

Fabulous story. So pleased he managed to become a hero twice in his lifetime.

Housewife2010 · 15/04/2020 22:47

I think he should get a personal message from the Queen rather than just a telegram for his forthcoming birthday.

ssd · 15/04/2020 23:08

I hope he gets a visit from the queen, actually scrub that that can't happen now.

Maybe the queen could facetime him?

ssd · 15/04/2020 23:16

Good idea!

The Royal Family should give a donation to match what Tom has raised. That would be better than a knighthood.

OneOfTheGrundys · 15/04/2020 23:38

He’s a legend.
‘Night hood’ sounds well dodgy 😂

Iris243 · 15/04/2020 23:48

Yes it’s an amazing story he’s a great man.

I liked reading about him and his late wife Pamela’s story. It’s just true love.

It’s unbelievable how much he’s raised.

I was crying watching his interview on the BBC this morning, so humble and a lovely man.

I was hoping there was a thread on him. What an amazing man. Very emotional watching him this morning. Legend.

ILoveYou3000 · 16/04/2020 09:34

@ssd I've only just stopped! His face when his daughter told him about the campaign to get him his knighthood and then him singing along with Michael Ball and seeing his GP and nurse.

He's so positive and seems like such a lovely man. There's a video on FB of someone singing to him and he starts singing along to White Cliffs of Dover 😭 it's so emotional, it's lovely.

rainbowstardrops · 16/04/2020 09:35

I cried the whole way through his interview on BBC breakfast today too!!! What a thoroughly lovely man. Love him!

Tonz · 16/04/2020 09:40

What a hero. Amazing man. Yes yes yes to him being knighted. Sir Tom Moore. What he's achieved for the NHS is outstanding. Good for him what a gem of a man

ssd · 16/04/2020 09:41

Yes, he's a gem, that's the word for him.

I'm not the crying sort usually but warching him on the BBC made me well up. Such a lovely man and so much more worried for everyone else than himself.

HPLikecraft · 16/04/2020 09:49

Amazing man! What an inspiration!

Tonz · 16/04/2020 10:07

@user1465335180 me to I always get a bit teary when I see him on TV. His family must be so proud of him. And yes he's an absolute 100% real life Gem sparkling and shining through in all this gloom.

The80sweregreat · 16/04/2020 15:36

A lovely man.
Well done to him and his team cheering him on. A fantastic achievement.
I hope the NHS spend the money wisely and are helped massively by these donations.

Thank you Tom!!
