Captain Tom died today

[Caw1]

A truly sad moment when I heard of the passing of Captain Sir Tom... he brought the Nation together with his dedication to raising money never in his wildest dreams thinking of the eventual sum he’d raised...
He was an inspiration to us all at one of our darkest times and will ever be remembered...
He certainly had a 100th year that not many could say they’d had... culminating in his Knighthood a fitting outcome for his wonderful efforts...
He was constantly on our local news and it’s wonderful to know he was so highly thought of...
I’m sure it will be a comfort to his family to know what everyone thought of him from far and wide.. very sad that it was covid that was his end...
RIP

This is in the news here in Australia too.

So sad. 

I think everyone loved him.

Served his Sovereign(s), his country and the people with such dignity and honour for the WHOLE of his life.  Rest well, Sir Tom, you deserve it.

Treetotal, That is a wonderful idea,wonder how it can be brought about?

Perhaps sales of his record could have a percentage at least going to some worthy cause ,NHS probably in honour of his magnificent effort.
If that is already the case excuse me but they will soar again now I imagine.

What a great loss to the whole country ,indeed the world as his magnificent
effort and achievement is pretty well known world wide I should think.

Captain Tom would say "Tomorrow will be a good day". He's put that optimism in our hearts.

I’ve never met Sir Tom so why am I in tears over his passing?

Good night and God bless Sir, we will miss you so.

I found this very sad news.

He had a loving family who cared for him - how on earth did he get coronvirus?

That's what I was wondering
