    A 100 year old man dies and it feels like a real kick in the nuts. RIP big man.

    So sad, what an amazing guy though. Set out to raise a few quid for the NHS and ended up with over 30m!

    Had already lived a fantastic life......but what a way to bow out. What he achieved in the last year of his life is nothing short of incredible. 

    Fucking Legend of a man. 

    RIP Tom

    RIP Tom. A true hero, in a world where the word hero is often misapplied.

    Oh no. That news has genuinely both upset and moved me.

    Will never forget him for the hope he gave to us all when the pandemic was at its worst in the first lockdown.

    A truly great and inspiring man. RIP Captain Tom.

    It seemed almost inevitable when he went into hospital with Covid. A truly inspirational man and worthy of all the praise heaped upon him. The BBC stopped their normal programmes to announce it and the statement by his family was worthy of him.

    RIP

    The Iconic figure in this battle against the Virus in the UK.

    He reached 100 and raised his bat to the pavilion,which was a great achievement when you consider he was born in 1920, lived through WW2 when the average life span was 60 for men born around that time.

    I feel he represents all of the people of that generation, including all the young men and women who perished in WW2.

    40 years extra time is amazing.

    RIP Tom Moore.

    RIP Captain Sir Tom Moore.

    Served his country well to the end, and finished a fantastic innings on a high.

    A hero.

    When somebody has a life like his, I think it is better to celebrate him rather than mourn him. R.I.P. The best of us.
