Bedford Hospital states on its website that visitors are not permitted due to current restrictions, unless there are exceptional circumstances.Captain Sir Tom Moore spent Sunday night in Bedford Hospital where his family have joined him
I have a suggestion on valentine day the whole nation applaud to the prime minister and his government for the incredible effort they have done during this pandemic and Brexit. Also to applaud to families loss of loved ones during the pandemic.
After coming back from Family Holiday in Barbados and I can’t cross my gate ?
And so passes Captain Sir Tom. I haven’t the words to pay tribute enough. Others can write about him. RIP Sir! 😔
Such sad news RIP sir Tom & deepest sympathies to all your family. 💔x
One rule for one, one rule for another 👍
All hospitals should have the same rules. Otherwise what is the point of rules!
Many of you ingrates have short memories. You are a disgrace! 🇳🇿😡
Absolutely brilliant what the man did, brilliant but why is his family allowed into hospital when others aren’t?
Visitors not allowed unless there are exceptional circumstances
Sad to hear captaintommoore in hospital, sending love and wishing him a speedy recovery, a hero and true inspiration x
Please fight this 🙏GetWellSoonCaptainTom 🍀 please we all love you 🤗
The article is insensitive. It comes across like he is receiving special treatment which is hurtful to so many. It’s how it is worded and what isn’t said in it.
I hope his family had a great holiday in Barbados, hopefully it was worth this.
Wishing Sir Tom lots of get well wishes and virtual distance kisses 😘
Currently the family are permitted at end of life. Or they are taking the patient home .Not sure why some folks are being a little ignorant on this and moaning about visitors and one rule for them and us ,
So it’s one rule them and another rule for the rest of us - why wasn’t I allowed to be with my Dad in Hospital when he was dying from COVID? Oh and by the way his family should feel some guilt!!
Why is his family allowed in hospital when no other families are allowed to be with their family
May the Lord look after this wonderful man and his family. My prayers are with you Sir Captain Tom Moore ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Sending love and prayers
So many turn to blame about holidays. First he can decide for himself. Second he is 100 and wanted to fulfil one of his wishes before dying which he is likely to soon at that age. He didn’t break any ‘rules’. Well don’t Sir Tom! Hope you recover soon!
A true gentleman. Praying for him and his family 🙏
They took him on a trip to Barbados? Wtaf his family have used this poor man
How are his family allowed to travel through the hospital to see a COVID patient? Then potentially spread it back through the hospital on the way out? COVID patients don’t isolate anymore?
Bless Captain Tom and all the good that he’s done. Such sad news and much love to his family
Praying for Captain Tom to recover, what an amazing inspiration he is, shame on those who say these awful words when he’s so poorly. May God give you strength 🙏
They are with him via isolated rooms
He's 100. He fought in a world war which has probably haunted him throughout his life. He raised millions for charity. Where is the compassion?!?!
captaintommoore is an amazing man but why is it OK for his family to be with him when so many have made the ultimate sacrifice and not been allowed to be with loved ones?
Some of these comments are disgusting. I haven't agreed with anyone going abroad but he was allowed it was not against the law in December!! And he's 100 for goodness sake. And he most likely caught it in this riddled country anyway not in Barbados!
Why is his family allowed in with him but others are not. Thousands have died alone and thousands have not seen loved ones admitted to hospital with covid or other illness. This cannot be right.

BBCKasiaMadera He's in Hospital with Pneumonia but given some hospitals are not that hygienic, he may well have caught the viral pneumonia version. God bless him, a true hero of his time and ours too!🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for you Captain 🙏❤
🙏
Bloody fool. Shouldn’t have been allowed to travel. It’s people like him we’re all doing this nonsense for 😡
Some really vile people on this thread. You all make me sick. That poor man is fighting for his life, they broke no rules, just wanted to give him one last treat, on his wish list. How do you people sleep at night?
Thank you for your service in all ways.
RossBain3 🙏🙏🙏
Don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect for Captain Tom Moore for what he did but why is he allowed to have family around & other people aren't? Not exactly the safest option either.
🙏🏻
RIP
Simon_Pegg One thing we do know about Captain Sir Tom is that he is more than capable of making decisions for himself, 100 years old the hero of the day and a National Treasure putting others to shame god love him!
It’s amazing how quick people have turned on Captain Tom! Some hospitals allow visitors when the patient is ‘end of life’. Complain to your respective hospitals if they aren’t doing that for you. In the mean time, we should send hope he doesn’t suffer.
Praying for Sir Tom, a wonderful icon for everyone. Thank you for all you have you done💙
This man is a hero, Show him some respect, he has done so much for the UK.
His raised all that money to help the nhs, then goes on his holybobs while said nhs workers have had no holiday this Yr. Then ends up in hospital. Well thoughout that wasn't it.
For those complaining that you aren’t allowed to see your relatives (I’m sorry) it depends on the trust. It’s likely he caught Covid from a home care provider who may of been asymptomatic and their last test would of been negative. They’re test once or twice a week as well
Poor guy, wish him all the best. Who wouldn’t go to Barbados if it was free. May have been ill advised at his age though.
😢
Goes against the whole common message. Some terminally ill kids are dying at home, will never see another country, didn’t travel. Can’t get treatment due to the pandemic. This is a terrible end to a great story. Some can’t get in hospital to visit loved ones All the best Captain
BBC News being vile and manipulative with this news story. It's clearly meant to stoke up anger and division that Captain Tom's family are by his bedside when so many others aren't permitted to attend. Dont give the BBC twatbadgers what they want
I wasn't allowed to be with my dad at the end
Looks like Sir Tom is getting a taste of what it feels like to be Marcus Rashford. turnonadime
Disgusting.. dont the rules apply to him? Guess normal people must die alone.
Prayers & Wishes. He did more than any of the parasites in Westminster during this pandemic. Both sides. God bless you sir.
I actually can’t believe some of these comments, what is wrong with people. You would think something like a pandemic would bring people together but all I see are posts of people tearing each other apart. Some people should be ashamed of themselves and show some compassion.
Wish you a speedy and complete recovery Sir. You are a huge inspiration to everyone. God bless you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
However you feel about the way this whole story has been reported since last March & whatever your personal view of recent events, the situation is terribly sad & nobody wants this great man or his wonderful family to suffer; they have made a wonderful contribution.
You'll never walk alone captain Tom. God bless Xxxxxxxx
I wish him well but the PR around the Xmas trip to the Caribbean is awful! We all stayed at home to protect the NHS, now look. I hope he makes a speedy recovery but the mixed messages are awful here! Maybe the family should hire a PR person to advise them
Get well soon mate
Have the rules changed then?
It will be sad if it could have been avoided but I sincerely hope he pulls through!
I thought family members were not allowed in to be with relatives in hospital?
If you can’t post anything respectful please don’t post ❤️this man is a true gent and extraordinary human being
This doesn’t sound like good news. They usually allow families in when they think it’s end of life.
If this headline is true, then they can only be saying goodbye.
Come on captain tom you can beat this xx
Would have taken my dad to Barbados if he'd got to 100 (and not 61) - it's not really a high risk is it when you've reached that age
How come he can have his family with him but every other family (thousands) can’t have theirs with them? oneruleforone
Oh my. They only allow such a thing at the end..
At the end of the day all relatives should have been allowed to say their goodbyes since the start. Sir Tom being a celebrity now has just highlighted the imbalance in the rules since last year. Maybe johnson and whitty and wanksock should be held accountable.
My best wishes to Sir Tom and his family. I do hope that means everyone will be allowed to visit their dying relatives more easily now. Perhaps Sir Tom is paving the way for that too.
Reading some of these comments, it's actually appalling... Jesus Christ, it's actually infuriating. Keep fighting Sir Tom 🤞 the negative comments coming from people that couldn't even tie your shoe laces mate! hero
Ohhh that doesn’t sound good.... come on Sir Tom!
AndrewMorganRCT Very sad but people will be angry that his family can be with him when so many people couldn’t be with their loved ones who died.
Strange, considering it’s most likely he contracted COVID from his family?
Relatives aren’t alllowed to be by the bedside of Covid patients. The only time it is allowed is at the end of life. Either way, it’s either very sad news or morally wrong for the 100k+ others who have lost loved ones
What business is it of anyone but the family? Awful, tabloid reporting.
Genuinely really sad to hear about Sir Tom Moore being in hospital with COVID after all he did last year. As if 2020 wasn't bad enough, 2021 is really doubling down on the shit so far...
The MSM made him a ' celeb'
m00t316 doesn't sound good 😢
All you idiots saying 'This is taking the piss- we're not allowed to see our families', allowing family to be with him in hospital is a sign that he's at end of life 😞
Must be tough for the family at the moment.. Sir Tom has brighten up everyone’s life’s..
Hope you get well soon 🙏
God be with him and his family xxx
Surely his family isn’t allowed to be there 🤷🏼♂️
Bet piers is there too anything to make it about him
What did his family think of when they took him to Barbados for Christmas for goodness sake . !!!
This will be heartbreaking
I fear this means this may not end well
Tom can travel to Barbados- we can't; Tom can have visitors in hospital - we can't; Can anyone explain that?
My father in law is in hospital fighting for his life with covid and my mother in law is not allowed to see him, so no it is not right! One rule for those with and get stuffed those without! BorisJohnson this is not on, his family put Sir Tom in there through stupidity 😡🤬😡🤬
Hope he gets well soon!
Hope he pull through 🙏
we are rooting for you Captain Tom!!
😭😭😭😭😭
💔
The same family that snuck him out of the UK on the back of a free holiday to Barbados, where he picked up pneumonia?
What a hero, what a legend, what a man, praying he pulls through but what a legacy he will leave behind if he doesn't 🤞🏻🤞🏻
You seriously have to question the wisdom of the family taking a 100 year old man on a holiday to Barbados during a world pandemic. I hope he lives for them to regret the decision. Good luck Capt!
He’s 100 years old ..... if I was going be poorly in hospital I’d damn well hope it was after a holiday in Barbados not sat at home for last year of my life
Praying for him and the family
Get well soon
Read between the lines folks! Lots of insensitive comments which people should seriously think about deleting. Best wishes to Captain Tom and his family!
Thoughts are with Sir Tom and his family.
Why does something like this bring out the worst in humanity.... surely even if you’re in the same predicament you’d want the best for him... for anyone in the same situation.., instead of making stupid statements or questions ... just wish him well, he’s someone’s dad, grandad
One law for one .one for another. If its true
Why Is He In Hospital? Coronavirus? How Did He Catch It? Why Did He Go To A Caribbean Island On Vacation? Is It His Own Fault? Yes
My 89 year old mum hasnt been allowed visitors!!

Captain Sir Tom Moore was negative for Covid-19 before hospital stayCaptain Sir Tom Moore's family have revealed he only tested positive for coronavirus after his ten-day stay in a Bedfordshire hospital being treated for pneumonia. Perhaps the hospital need to look at the level of PPE and infection control. We should not be getting infected in hospital now if staff vaccinated and wearing appropropriate area PPE. Did that particular hospital allow patient visitors though🤔.So sad Sir Tom caught Covid there❤️

Exactly the same thing happened to my Nan. Tested negative until discharge, was dead 2 weeks later. The amount of people getting it in hospital is scandalous. Pleeeaaaase, for goodness sake, let Sir Tom rest in peace now that he's gone to a higher and better place 😇😇😇😇
