‘The best of humanity’: readers’ tributes to Capt Sir Tom Moore Rachel Obordo and Guardian readers
Captain Sir Tom Moore, who has died aged 100 after testing positive for Covid-19, inspired many people in the UK and around the world. Guardian readers share their thoughts on what he meant to them.
‘He gave me hope for a bright future for the world’
Captain Tom’s selfless and inspiring acts in raising money for the NHS touched me deeply. That a man could give so much, and inspire so many people, without any expectation of reward, is amazing to me. To have lost this fine man to the very disease he was working so hard to eradicate is an irony so painful it defies description. I have never met Captain Tom of course, and I am the poorer for that, but he inspired me and set a fine example for the world to admire. There are many people in positions of high leadership who would do well to study his example and strive to achieve even an iota of his stature.
