The 99-year-old war veteran who has raised £29m for the NHS by walking laps of his garden has been honoured with a special postmark.
Royal Mail will stamp all letters with the message to celebrate Captain Tom Moore's 100th birthday on Thursday.
All stamped post up until Friday will be marked with: "Happy 100th Birthday Captain Thomas Moore NHS fundraising hero 30th April 2020."
Royal Mail said it was "honoured" to issue the postmark.
His initial £1,000 fundraising target was broken in about 24 hours and he has now raised more than £32m for the NHS.
Yesterday (17 July 2020) The Queen conferred the Honour of Knighthood on Captain Tom Moore at an Investiture at Windsor Castle.
In April, World War Two veteran, Captain Sir Tom Moore embarked on 100 laps of his garden with the aim to raise £1,000 for NHS Charities Together and has now raised over £32 million for the NHS, and inspired so many people along the way.
Today Captain Sir Tom Moore’s incredible fundraising achievements were recognised with a Knighthood.
The Queen awarded Captain Sir Tom Moore with his insignia of Knight Bachelor, after knighting him with the sword that belonged to her father, King George VI.
Congratulations Captain Sir Tom Moore!
