He has brought tears to my eyes watching him and the fly over. Also the song by Michael Ball singing happy birthday to him. xxxx

What really moved me was his incredible humility.It showed a clip of him when he appeared on Blankety Blank many years ago!He had a twinkle in his eye then and he still has it!!!!

Calling him captain tom on bbc news ... has the promotion not happened yet?

I was wondering the same.The presenter on our local radio station explained that its an honorary title not his official army rank which is captain-so his actual name is still Captain Tom.I think everybody will probably call him Colonel though.
