What could you possibly get a war veteran, celebrating his 100th birthday after raising over £32,000000 for the NHS (National Health Service)? Captain Tom Moore set out to walk around his garden 100 times to raise £1,000 for charity. Since then, his mission has blown up on social media, millions of people across the world have donated to his cause, and he is now a household name.


Celebrations for Tom have included, an RAF flypast by a spitfire and hurricane, a promotion to colonel in the military, a personalised telegram from the Queen, and a message from the prime minister. On top of this, The WW11 veteran, has received over 125, 000 birthday cards from the public - the Royal Mail has even created a special stamp for the birthday occasion.


In summary, I know I speak for the whole country when I say, we wish you a very happy 100th birthday Colonel Tom. Your heroic efforts have lifted the spirits of the entire nation. You have created a channel to enable millions to say a heartfelt thank you to the remarkable men and women in our NHS who are doing the most outstanding job. You are a true hero.
