So glad he got knighted last year and recognised for all he did. Chances are he has had the vaccine so do so hope and pray he pulls round.

Love and strength sent to you Sir Tom

Please get well soon Sir Tom xx

His walking generated donations of £32 million for the NHS.

I am sad to hear the news about Sir Tom and hope and pray that he will pull through.

Captain Tom became a national hero and raised more than £33 million for NHS charities during the height of the first coronavirus wave in the spring when he set himself a walking challenge.

He had originally set out to raise £1,000 by talking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday on April 30.

But his sterling efforts inspired a lock-downed nation looking for good news among the increasingly bleak headlines, and donations and well-wishes soon flooded in.

His efforts saw him knighted by the Queen in July and he was singled out for praise by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said the centenarian had “provided us all with a beacon of light through the fog of coronavirus”.

Captain Tom was made a Knight by the Queen in the sun-soaked gardens of Windsor Castle in July.“I remember saying, ‘I hope the Queen is gentle with this sword!’” he tells GQ in the accompanying article where Captain Tom is seeing modeling a swanky designer suit - an experience he relished.

This is awful news. If it was a film script, even after the year we’ve all had, it would seem far-fetched.
Wishing him well with all my heart.

That’s so sad.Such a wonderful man.
Praying he recovers?

So glad he got knighted last year and recognised for all he did. Chances are he has had the vaccine so do so hope and pray he pulls round.

Apparently he hasn't been vaccinated because he was already ill with Pneumonia and being treated for that, according to Sky News on my phone.

Such an inspirational, true gentleman.
Someone to whom I identify with my own Grandparents. I am deeply saddened to hear, following pneumonia, he is now suffering even more, having contracted covid. ?

Capt Sir Tom was a huge part of the first lockdown when we were all imbued with a bit of wartime spirit and hope.

I have found this lockdown a lot more bleak.

Wonderful man, in my thoughts and prayers as are his lovely family

Very sad. I hope he recovers.

Such a wonderful and inspirational man. I so hope he can overcome this?

At least he had a very varied and interesting last year, meeting all kinds of people and visiting places.A lovely kind man who has had a long life and did a lot of good recently.I hope he recovers and lives to see Covid dwindle away in the world.

Such a lovely kind man.

Let's hope he can beat this horrible virus and get well. Such I thoughtful and kind gentleman he is. Keep up the fight against Covid Sir Tom.xx

We hold you in our thoughts, Captain Tom and hope your wonderful tenacity brings you through this.????

As others have said, a lovely man and an inspiration to many. I hope he does not suffer.

I was shocked to hear this on the news, pneumonia and COVID are not good at that age. But I am remembering those on the news recently having recovered from COVID when older than him. He won’t be out of my thoughts though. Such a wonderful inspiration to all.

Thinking of you Captain Sir Tom.
Tomorrow will be a Good Day.

Get well soon Sir Tom...?

Oh what sad news, such an inspiring man. I can’t add to what has already been said. I am sad.

what an inspiration this man is Hope and pray for him and the staff working with him Bless you Sir Tom xx youre fab x
