July 17
Captain Tom Moore, the 100 year old World War II veteran of the Burma campaign who had raised close to 33 million pounds for the NHS Charities went to Windsor Castle with his family.
Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II walked over from her granddaughter’s nearby wedding to make a special exception to the cessation of such ceremonies to formally knight the centenarian.
The Queen herself had chosen to join the Auxillary Territorial Service in 1945 serving in London during the war.
When quizzed about what was discussed between the two, ever the loyal Knight Sir Tom replied “No. That’s between the Queen and I,” he said “I don’t think I’ll tell anybody what she said, it was just the Queen and I speaking privately and it was a great honour for me to be able to speak to her at all.“
Captain Tom was joined by his daughter Hannah Ingram, son-in-law Colin Ingram, grandson Benji and granddaughter Georgia.
Arise Sir Tom and God Bless.

They certainly don’t make them like Sir Tom any more !
Yes they do John, look he’s right there. 😉
I was so pleased that he was still alive to receive that knighthood. But now we need to find out what happened to all those millions he has raised. I fear the money has ‘disappeared into the system’, but I sincerely hope not.
Best wishes, Pete.
That might not happen Pete with the money. I like to think Captain Tom has a few innings to play yet but I am glad they didn’t delay him being Knighted formally. Best wishes Pete, hope things are well in sunny England.
He’s an excellent example of what knighthood should stand for
Agreed Don, stay safe mate.
