Sir Tom

His family must be so proud of him. He has been such an inspiration. I hope somebody produces a book of the events which can be passed on by his grandchildren to show to their grandchildren.

The honours system used to be for people doing good works, not for being highly paid for doing your job or for being very good at something. Nice to see a change

Very well deserved. He is a true gentleman and well respected. I hope we see the ceremony on the tv when it happens.

Juts lovely!

A fitting award for such a tremendous achievement by a real gentleman. A lovely family too.

I am delighted to hear the news. Someone who has rallied this country and lifted spirits like no one else was able to, NOT a businessman or a celebrity. A refreshing change.

Well deserved, if this hadn't happened I think there would have been mass protests!

I heard his grandson on radio this morning - he was obviously extremely proud of his grandfather and said when he sees him he won't know whether to salute, bow or kneel in front of him! He also said that at some point there will be the biggest party ever.

Finally a knighthood awarded to a thoroughly deserving person and not some showbiz or sports 'personality'
Well done Captain Sir Tom.

Wonder if a ceremony can be arranged, hope so

Lovely news ?

Very well deserved - how proud he and his family must feel. I know I am and I don't know him

So happy for him...a grand gentleman ?

It is probably the story that will be remembered as the most positive thing that happened in lockdown.

So well deserved. He restores faith in human nature. (We really need a like button for posts such as these).
