Milton Keynes Council will fly its flag at half mast tomorrow in memory of Tom Moore, who passed away today of COVID-19 aged 100.
Council Leader Cllr Peter Marland has said: “Captain Tom was an inspiration to so many people and it is right we mark his achievements in this way, and I’m sure people will want to take a bit of time to think of him and all those that have tragically lost their lives during the pandemic.”
Emily Darlington, Bletchley East Labour Councillor, commented: "Goodbye and thank you to Captain Sir Tom Moore. You were a symbol of hope and perseverance during this horrid pandemic. We will always remember your inspirational efforts for the NHS."
Bletchley Park Conservative Councillor Allan Rankine added: "An inspiration to all of us. Everything that is good about this country was found in Captain Tom. RIP."
Councillor Alex Walker, Leader of the Conservative Group, concluded: "Captain Tom was a true inspiration. He dragged the whole nation through the pandemic. He was a shining light in such a dark time.
"Flying our flag in MK at half mast is a small but important show of respect to his memory and his family."
