4 days after my initial post Captain Tom has raised just over £23 million. Heard a rumour that he may be getting a Spitfire fly past on his birthday (30th April), can anyone confirm this and is it from BOB memorial flight?

Unfortunately Tim, not the one I was hoping to add, nevertheless, a wonderful tribute.

Tried again, unfortunately the result is the same as previous attempts.
It won't upload. Each of you, try and find it somewhere, ask friends, family and children to source it. Hopefully the painting will be presented to his old regiment or better still, sold for a bucket full of money and then donated to the regiment by whoever purchased it. Regards

He could be No.1 in the music charts on his birthday:
Captain Tom Moore has teamed up with Michael Ball for a fundraising cover of You'll Never Walk Alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUP-ty-Tj5E

What a story, Captain Tom Moore or should i say, COLONEL(hon) Tom Moore as form today. Broke the £30m mark today on his 100th birthday. Add the £5.7m from gift aid! Personal message from the Queen as well as the prime minister. And top to it all, a spitfire / hurricane did not one but three fly pasts over his house.
Well done Colonel and happy birthday! Ps, an estimated 140,000 birthday cards in the local school for him as well as being given the freedom of London. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...herts-52472132

I just saw a bit of TV footage - the old fellah's wearing a Defence Medal, someone must've spotted that he was entitled to one.
