I still had my Beret and a little BLINGon I stood to attention with a huge grin. His 100 laps was also very cool.

"That will make him the first centenarian to top the charts, having already broken the record for the oldest person to reach number one.

Sir Tom Jones was the previous record-holder, having been 68 when his Comic Relief cover of Islands In The Stream came out in 2009. The Welsh star was quick to congratulate his successor.
"Capt Moore, from one Tom to another, congratulations on beating my chart record," he said. "If I was going to lose to anybody, it's an honour to have lost to you, with all you have done raising money for the NHS.""

He turned 100 yesterday, April 24th, I hope he makes 104 !!

Happy birthday COLONEL Tom ! promoted by the Queen.

The Yorkshire Regiment medal presented to Former British Army Officer Captain Tom Moore, appointed the first Honorary Colonel of the Army Foundation College in Harrogate.

Talk about a rapid rise to glory ....................................... from Captain to Colonel and Knighthood and all within 3 months, got to be some sort of record, and couldn't be bestowed on a more deserving individual. His service in time of need is unparalleled. Gives a whole new new slant to "Age shall not weary them ....... "

I trust his future will be more rewarding than that of his namesake
