On behalf of everyone who has been moved by his incredible story, I want to say a huge thank you. He’s a true national treasure.

A Government spokeswoman added: ‘We know there is huge appetite to say thank you to all those supporting the nation during this emergency and doing incredible things day in, day out, up and down the country. We will ensure these unsung heroes are recognised in the right way, at the right time.’ Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer congratulated Sir Tom, who he said had brought ‘inspiration to millions and helped all of us to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of our NHS’.

He added: ‘In his actions, Tom embodied the national solidarity which has grown throughout this crisis, and showed us that everyone can play their part in helping build a better future.’ Sir Tom enlisted into the eighth battalion of the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment , an infantry unit that was converted to operate Churchill tanks as part of the Royal Armoured Corps .In 1940 the Yorkshireman was selected for officer training and rose to the rank of captain, later being posted to 9 DWR in India.
