Moore was accompanied to the chivalry ceremony in July by his daughter, son-in-law Colin Ingram, grandson Benji and graduate Georgia, according to PA Media.
“I could never have imagined that this would happen to me. It is such a huge honor and I look forward to meeting Her Majesty the Queen,” he said at the time. “It will be the most special day for me.”
“If I kneel, I’ll never get up again,” he added as he left home for Windsor Castle.
Moore, who achieved the rank of captain during his military career, was promoted to honorary colonel in recognition of his efforts.
According to a Downing Street press release, Prime Minister Boris Johnson personally recommended to the Queen that Moore be exceptionally honored.
“Colonel Tom’s fantastic fundraising broke records, inspired the entire country and provided us all with a beacon of light through the fog of the coronavirus,” Johnson said in the statement.
