On tv tonight house parties and £800 fines for the the love island generation, obsessed with selfies and botox. Capt Tom. The real deal made you proud to be British.
When I heard his family were at his bedside, given current conditions preventing hospital visiting I feared the worse. Singlehandedly did more to raise the moral of the country during last Summer than anyone else, plus his amazing fund raising achievements. A true officer and a gentleman. RIP Captain Tom. Sleep well, you've earned a rest
Tom is exactly the sort of person that youngsters should aspire to emulate - rather than Reality TV stars, rappers, or dare I say it; footballers. Hero and gentleman to the very end.
A really sad outcome, I know he had pneumonia when due for his jab, but should he have had it anyway? it may have helped tip the scale in his favour. It makes me so so sad that he has gone and there is, I could really swear!!!! idiots having parties and ignoring the guidelines most of us are adhering to. That party in Bristol with the £800 fines GOOD, but did not hear if the ringleaders got £10,000 fines. A truly amazing human being, a guiding light to us all with a sense of humour we all need. The WORLD lost one of its guiding lights this week, and is a bit darker for it. RIP Captain Sir Tom, or should we call you Colonel ?
