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

A sad loss but a good life well spent

RIP Captain.

I know he was knighted and it was a real honour well deserved but I too like to remember him as ‘Captain Tom’ Pittcity. Maybe because that’s ‘who he was’ when we were all frightened and needed hope.

‘Tomorrow Will Be a Good Day’. x

I can only repeat what others have written:

RIP Captain Tom Moore
A life well lived.

What a fitting tribute to a lovely man.

Captain Sir Tom Moore was a war veteran.
& during his final year was an inspiration to us all.

RIP

Apparently he had been suffering from prostate and skin cancer for the last 5 years and was on medication as he refused invasive treatment. He also had a fall and broke his hip. He was so grateful to the NHS he wanted to give back and did so in bucketloads. His last year was a good one. RIP

Moggie I think it’s been shown that he did not catch covid in Barbados.

So sorry to hear the very sad news. Sir Tom was one of a kind, a true gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with his loving family. RIP Sir Tom
