- Captain Thomas Moore, the 100-year-old WWII veteran and fundraising hero in the UK, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in a special ceremony at Windsor Castle on Friday.
The "unique" ceremony, held outdoors and with sparse attendance due to concerns over COVID-19, was held in honour of Moore, who turned walking laps in his garden to recover from a hip injury into a fundraising phenomenon in the UK, raising more than £32m for NHS charities.
"Thank you so much, an amazing amount of money you raised," Queen Elizabeth told Capt. Moore at Windsor Castle.
The Queen used the sword that belonged to her father, George VI, to bestow the insignia of Knight Bachelor upon Moore, hereafter known as Sir Thomas Moore.
“It’s amazing and what I love also is that he’s a 99-year-old war vet,” said Prince William in a special video message for Moore the prince posted on social media. “He’s been around a long time, he knows everything and it’s wonderful that everyone has been inspired by his story and his determination.”

I love how they let him break protocal and stand for his knighthood. A wonderful compassionate gesture towards this 100 year old vertran.
Well he's OLD as dirt both are old so it's better for him
So nice to see such a great gesture
Towards this vertran
I find it simply logical. The idea behind the ceremony is to honour this 100 year old frail man, not to torture or embarrass him, shouldn't he be able to get up again.
Great Britain respect the soldiers all over the world 🌎 who fought for them
This is just so heartwarming to see! God bless Sir Tom Moore! And God bless the queen!
If China does this it would be the pure evil ....
@@paulpwthuang That's because the ccp IS pure evil.
@@paulpwthuang what would be evil?
God don't have nothing to do with this. 😂😂😂
I weep when I see such great individuals. We will never see their likes again.
How wonderful to see Her Majesty talking at length to Captain Tom and his family. Glorious weather too, what a celebration! 😊🙏
Tom: "Alright your Majesty, neither of us is as young as we used to be, so be careful with that sword will you" 🤭
LOL - this is epic
Too bad all the cameras were making so much noise it interfered in hearing.
They were in the open. Plus, there were no mics around them as well as on their bodies.
One of the cameramen said he overheard Captain Tom say to her that if he got down on his knees, he wouldn't be able to get back up!
This woman is 94 and is walking in heels love her❤️
Made me tear up to see this man who has even in is ripe old age of 100 is making a difference and not stopping. We should all endeavour to try harder.
Wow it must be a great honor to have the queen of Uk and 16 commonwealth regions saying something that great to you that honor must break your heart
The Brits better listen to their wise queen. She's a beacon of light.
This video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
A wonderful moment!
Very heartwarming
wow hats off too her...fantastic.
At least something good comes out of the pandemic
Parabolic Mike,
Or do we just get shutter clicks?
I'd like to hear 2 veterans talk of the same world war. And the current covid wars. Very few left from the last great war.
I was thinking the same thing. There will not be another a knighthood bestowed on a centenarian by an almost-centenarian. I wish the photographers had a thought for the occasion and stopped shooting once they started conversing. Sigh.
But what an occasion. Two old soldiers together, stooped in extreme old age and very happy.
why is there 49 thumbs down, what the hell.
Rip captain Tom
Имея такой пример перед глазами, стыдно раскидать, падать духом и впадать в уныние. Нужно идти вперёд, несмотря ни на что.
They must have gone through deep corona test before this
what if a fancy tickled her and she just took a mighty swing at his neck, I wonder what would happen to her if anything
AW how endearing, all is forgiven. NOT
Absolutely fantastic. Her father was king when Sir Tom served, she used his sword to knight him. Just great.
How strange to think that he supported the nazi and his brother spied for them on Britain’s allies.
James O,Neill What a thoughtful and worthwhile comment, and you only needed two attempts at it. Well done James.
How many attempts does Andrew need?
Antivlog. Absolutely fantastic, just great, a bit of smashy and nicey going on there.
James O,Neill Bruh lol, get a life.
I'm stonned and watching 2 actual legends meeting each other. How old are they? Infinite
do you mean stunned? 😂🤣😂
@@yowgyrl I mean THC
LMAO me 2
And old as hell but still kicking it
Goodness these dear people were born in the '20s. There were no tvs, sports cars, bandaids or hippies.
Congratulations to this fine gent.❤(Love his walker)😄
She looks really happy giving a knight title to him
Hello my dear how are you doing
That's beautiful! For once, a multiple true hero is recognized and honoured in his lifetime!
This is a wonderful day! Such a Generation! 🙏🌿
Now all she needs to do is posthumously remove some knighthoods... Jimmy Savile for one
@@ladystardust2885 Jimmy Savile has a knighthood??? For what?!
I still see the young queen in her ! Long live the queen
This didn't age well!
God bless Sir Tom Moore. Your knighthood is well deserved. And God save the Queen.
god shave the queen
@@waterkant999 jeez you don't have to make the queen bald
I am crying like a baby right now!!!
Amazing
Watching from the States with a little tear in my eye. God bless Sir Thomas Moore and God save the Queen!
Legend meets legend
In a time of great depression, this gives one hope!!😷🏅
Amazing love my Queen and Sir Tom and his wonderful family
In 6 minutes, you understand the glory and decency of the united kingdom
As beautiful as I hoped it would be. What a great story. I have followed him from the beginning of his "walk" and was so in awe. This was a great THANK YOU from Queen and Country.
Wonderful. A great example of what the United Kingdom is all about.
Three years later his daughter provides an even a better example of what the United Kingdom is all about!😂
"You sparks something" the Queen said, and it is true; even abroad. He is such an example for us all, but I think H.M. herself is just the same ... inspiring, loyal, dutyfull and therefore of so much value. But the Queen and this new knight aren't even aware of it ... That's the best part from this, I think! Congratulations from Holland 🌷
Wonderful, brings a tear to your eye so pleased for Sir Tom thank you Marm.
Hello my dear how are you doing
Well done... and save the Queen !
I think you mean God save the Queen 😄
Absolutely great to see people who have a BIG HEART.
LEGENDS!
Her Majesty is as beautiful as ever! She now seems like everyone's wonderful grandmother. We thank almighty God for her long life and her long reign as a great monarch. Long live Queen Elizabeth II
Absolutely wonderful💖
Watching this in 2022, it's still hard to sink in that both of them are gone. May God bless her Majesty's and Sir Moore's soul
God save the queen.
I'm not crying, you are crying!
You know she made sure she was the one to give this great honour. This was never going to be jobbed out. The smile on her face shows how much respect and joy she has in bestowing this upon this truly honourable man. An honour that is most deservedly earned.
Yes, she had the chance to actually meet someone older than herself for a change!
Congratulations Sir Tom. Age has no barriers. He makes you proud to be British during these times with the pandemic. With H.M using her fathers sword it's extra special as he was King during WW2 while Tom was serving.
Wouldn't it be swell if America had such leadership? United, instead of divided us? Honored the heroes, instead of criticize, argue with, and ignore them? America is certainly NOT "Great Again." America is an embarrassing place to live.
Funny to hear photographers still using DSLRs
No money to buy mirrorless. 😁
@@richardkoeknyc Yeah it's a process
And how nice to be recognize even at this fragile age
How great is it to see happiness at this time !
I love this so much. Such a beautiful meeting. They are both so kind, the queen doesn't act superior. They are both amazing people and treasures, I hope they live for many more years to come.
Bless him, so happy for him!!
In 2020, as a 29 year old American, while watching the Queen of England perform this strange ceremony, i came to the realization that I'm a barbarian...
Congratulations
2 legends 💞
This man did more for Britain than the current PM!
I'm glad I see positive comments than negative. Negativity we don't need. I'm glad this put a smile on my face
Great man in the history..
Love from America, this is a beautiful tradition and bestowed upon someone so deserving! Wish we had something like this over here!
You would have had, but you had a war of independence with England 😁
Khasab true haha
@@ahmiv8825 for the benefit of our American cousins The UK 🇬🇧 is the flag of 3 nations combined not the flag of England. The English flag is white with a red cross .England is not the UK only a 1 part that makes us all The United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Martin McGoldrick yes I learned this in middle school
The queen must get excited when she can converse with and relate to someone from her generation who also lived through those trying times. There ain't many of them left.
Colonel Tom king of England through a meritocratic system🏏
Thank God for Her Majesty The Queen.
Not too often she meets someone older than her these days! Must have been a great moment for her
just got my serotonin shortage destroyed by this video
Is it just me or is Tom holding back tears?
Anyone one here after his death?
Hahahahahalol
1:17
Queen: Raise your sword, Mortal, we'll see what you're capable of!
Tom: I don't need a sword to duel with you, I have my mighty walker!
1:10 get your snacks ready
Aww Bless her heart , she is getting old , God Bless our sweet beautiful Queen !
A truly beautiful moment.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Congratulations Captain Moore. And thank you and for your years of service. As well as Queen Elizabeth during WWII. Without you brave veterans, life would be very different to how we know it.
What a lovely ceremony, and to see how long the Queen engaged in chatting to him and his family. Well done and congrats to Sir Thomas.
Awesome , this is what makes Britain Great. Two amazing hero's from an age of sacrifice & dignity.
I were holding my breath, hoping the Queen still knew how to hold that sword, one wrong move and...
I suddenly understand british humor in its entirety…
The queen's sense of timing & showmanship is coming out more these days... LOL
Who’s here after sir Tom passed away Rip herooo
Rip, your servicr to the public has been outstanding in any way
How wonderful!
So happy he was knighted! Bravo our queen! Gods blessings!!!!!
Rest in peace
Rest In Peace
Would have been nice to hear if wasn't for the bloody camera shutters going off, the bells ringing and the freaking wind going over the Microphone. What was the camera operator using? A Mattel play camera? Lol
Queen so beautiful even at her age amazing lady
What is the point of tapping his shoulder with a sword? tf is the supposed to do? Do they think it gives him superpowers or something?
Hi
The camera clicking is too loud we can't hear their conversation
Hello
This video 👍🏼✔️💯™️🚹👏🏽🙂💗
Fantastic!
LOL!!!
Sir Thomas Moore
I've got dust in my eyes again !
Queen Elizabeth the best 👏👏👏👏❤️
Fantastic! A generation that were true patriots to their country, and still are. One can only imagine what they think of the world today. A world they fought for, to keep free of tyranny. Interesting, two seniors, no (SJW ) mandatory Masks!
Congratulations to Captain Tom.
Everyone stay Safe, and Healthy.🇺🇸🇬🇧🌎🇬🇧🇺🇸
World was much better now until it got hit by the corona virus
Masks aren't "SJW", they're there to save lives and reduce the spread of the virus. Please for the love of God just wear one until we can cure it.
You're a profoundly ignorant person and your willfulness is costing lives.
@@RileyWritey Untill there is Absolute medical science proof that the masks totally prevent the virus, I prefer my Constitutional Freedom of choice. I am not berating anyone choosing to wearing one
.But, the research I have done, has not proven to me that they are fool proof. Personally I think there are so many other hygienic steps that should also be addressed, and continually reminded to the general public. Let's start with, Banning Spitting! Also, if your going to enforce these oxygen depriving mask, teach people how to wear them. They won't help resting on the chin, or worn under the nose! Or taken off to answer their phones in public. That's right the virus knows when to spread, and not spread.
How about using good old Common Sense that G-d blessed us with, when out in public. Apparently most people have forgotten how to use theirs.
Anyhoo..Stay Safe, and Healthy🇺🇸
@@joniweinberger1362
With respect, you're not a scientist. Just wear a mask and stop prattling on about "freedom", viruses don't care about your jingoism.
Scottish bagpipes?? Maybe a scottish King coming in.
H.M the queen ,is the queen of Scotland .
Wonderful the Queen gave the worthy gentleman a Knighthood.
Watching this from Texas with awe. This is just a fantastic honor to see!
Dear Sir, congratulations! Great love to you
