Sir Tom is in hospital with covid. I hope he will recover, he’s been an inspiration to so many.

Praying for a good outcome for this inspirational man.

A true gentleman and an inspiration. Praying that he will be here to see this awful virus lose its grip on the world.

Sorry to hear this news of Captain, Sir Tom Moore.
Hope his strong character helps him to recover.

He’s over a 100 years old and had pneumonia for few weeks unfortunately no one lives for ever!

So sorry to hear this. His actions inspired others to raise money too.

He is a wonderful man, an inspiration to us all.

Wishing him a good recovery

I was so sad to hear this news. As well as being inspirational he has a lovely smile and sense of humour. A truly honourable man.

He will be in my prayers tonight. ?

Thoughts and prayers are with you Sir Tom
Tomorrow will be a good day ?

I was so sad when I read this, as do we all and I do hope he recovers. Apparently couldn’t have his jab as he was suffering from pneumonia. ?

BlueBelle Sun 31-Jan-21 22:34:21

Unfortunately he did what we re told not to do and went on a family Christmas holiday to Barbados did this play a part in it we don’t know ? Maybe it did maybe it didn’t Hes a game old 100 year old who s loved his year of fame and seems a dear chap I hope he recovers for another year or so

Please Sir Tom get well soon and come home. We love you and so very much admire you and your lovely family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you xx

BlueBelle British Airways paid for his flight in December. Somehow he later got pneumonia for which he was being treated but unfortunately that medication meant he couldn’t have the Covid vaccination. He subsequently contracted the virus probably in hospital here. Very sad. I hope he enjoyed his holiday and now makes a full recovery.

I have also just read that before he went Sir Capt Tom put out a Twitter saying visiting the Caribbean was on his bucket list to do. What an indomitable and inspiring man! Get Well Sir Tom. We need you.

It’s a timely reminder to all of us to have our pneumonia vaccination, although his pneumonia might not be one that’s covered by the vaccine.

CraftyGranny Mon 01-Feb-21 12:12:24

Gell well soon Sir Tom. You can do it. flowers flowers

I wish him well, I really do. 25% of all Covid infections are caught in hospital, so I imagine his treatment for pneumonia, even if only as an outpatient, is what gave it to him.

He has done so well reaching over 100. If this does prove to be his time to go, then we should celebrate his life, rather than it being a national tragedy, but I hope he can have a few more healthy months with his family first.

wendyann23 Mon 01-Feb-21 13:23:01

I’m glad he did get to Barbados and enjoyed what will probably be his last foreign trip and his last family holiday. I hope he pulls through but if not he had an amazing final few months and he ticked off Barbados from his bucket list. He is an inspiration to us all.

Absolutely, Maggiemaybe.

What a soldier he has proved to be - I hope he manages to soldier on for a bit longer!
