A very special birthday - could not let this one pass unheralded

Today is 100th birthday of Captain (now Colonel) Tom Moore the absolutely super gentleman who has now raised an astonishing £30+ million (yes million !!) for NHS charities here in UK.
Lots of praise, so well deserved, and birthday wishes to him today from all quarters.
Truly a beacon in these strange days.





100 years young and was made an honourary Colonel today.












Pic from his WW2 service days, front and centre (a sign of things to come ?)











Thousands of birthday cards he has received 











Even here in N.Ireland the wall mural painters have paid tribute

    What a wonderful man and well deserving of all the accolades. Best wishes to Colonel Moore and to all in the UK from us in Canada.

    PS What medal is he holding and was that the one he was presented with that I saw on TV?

      Not sure re medal but think its to do with honourary promotion to Colonel.
