Indeed, an award that is thoroughly worthwhile and well deserved. Sir Tom captured the nation's feelings (and pockets!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 The video is really quite touching, both of them hunched with age but still so dignified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I'm so glad he got to go and it was the Queen who knighted him, it must have been wonderful for the both of them. 1 hour ago, Walker570 said: Watched it on youtube.

Not something his grandchildren will ever forget, certainly not something many kids at school can say they've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmick Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 This really is something special, a wonderful experience for Sir Tom, his family and the Queen. A wealth of experience in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 One of the most deserved knighthoods of the century. Congratulations to Sir Tom and his family, it must have been a very special day for all involved. I'm sure the Queen was very pleased to grant this one too.
