Colonel Tom Moore is of the fine generation who, because of what they did in their yesterdays, ensured that - as he put it himself on Twitter @CaptainTomMoore - 'Today will be a good day'...   ...and thanks to the continuing perseverence and fortitude of everyone's favourite centenarian, so will all our tomorrows.

Even the trying times of Covid-19 and Coronavirus could not defeat him - indeed, he was stirred into further action.  Colonel Tom Moore is truly remarkable, and we congratulate him on his life's achievements, recent and past.

We join with the whole of the nation, sir, in sending you the very best wishes from everyone at Norwich's Phoenix Male Voice Choir on your very special day today, your 100th Birthday!

We will not compete with the many accolades he has received today, the variety of which is truly staggering and richly-deserved...   ...140,000 birthday cards, including 'that one' from Her Majesty the Queen; a flypast by a Hurricane and a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (which, along with a Lancaster bomber, was a magnificent spectacle witnessed by this Tweep from the ramparts of Castle Cornel in Guernsey's St Peter Port many years ago); promotion to honorary Colonel of his Regiment; award of an England Cricket cap and honorary membership of the England Cricket Team; freedom of the City of London; etc., etc.

But our best honour is to recognise his continual putting others before self...   ...he is STILL walking, just as he promised.  He will today complete his 200th and final garden lap, which will bring an end his walking endeavour, and raising at least £31,000,000 for NHS Charities in the process, having hoped for just £1,000 those many days ago.  And among all this, humility...   ...the enduring mark of the man is that he still wants to be called 'Captain Tom'.

Well, sir, we can think of many names for you and all richly generous in their praise...
...but we think it is appropriate that as a Choir from Norfolk, our 'electronic' best wishes and congratulations are accompanied by the much-admired work of very talented Norfolk artist Rebecca Osborne [www.RebeccaOsborne.co.uk and twitter @RebeccaVOsborne].

Happy 100th Birthday and Thank You 'Captain Tom' Moore, our medal-wearing Superhero and Pride of Britain!

Every birthday should be special because there are different memories that are being formed and we are all responsible for the different achievements that we have gained. Let us be thankful to the Lord, because the Lord has given us the chance to be who we are and always be grateful no matter what for we are all servants who are being guarded by the Lord. A great moment for us to realize those blessings that we have right now. It will be a great time for us to reflect and always be happy.

The way we look at Fashion is very heavily influenced by our ethnicity, gender, caste, and geographic origin. This is because various communities all over the globe follow different fashion standards. Fashion is a very enlightening concept and plays a significant role in most of our lives.

    (t)Witterings from the Choir's Webmaster, The Phoenix, but it's normally about what we are going to be or have been up to, something nice about someone we have sung with, or a gracious reply to one of your own wonderful comments.
