Queuer describes strange behaviour of man who waited 14 hours before he was arrested for grabbing Queen's coffin He also received a Pride of Britain award in 2020. In December 2021, Tony met with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their festive carol concert at Westminster Abbey. 'I hope that you manage to have a very well deserved rest before starting on your next adventure - whatever that may be! Catherine.'
'I know that your efforts have been hugely appreciated by Eveline, and we are all so proud of what you have achieved. I am very impressed that you carried on even after reaching your target of 10km!
The Duchess of Cambridge wrote: 'It was wonderful to hear how you were inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore's story to carry out your own walk. He later received a letter of congratulations from the Duchess of Cambridge, who commended his 'amazing' fundraising efforts - adding that his achievement was 'hugely appreciated.' Tony had initially set out to raise £500 for the hospital but his incredible efforts captured the hearts of thousands across the nation and saw him raise a staggering £1,073,121 for Evelina London Children's Hospital in just a month. Tony talks about him every day and I'm sure he will carry on still talking about him and in years to come he will always say 'the person that inspired me to walk was Captain Tom'.' She added: 'Tony absolutely adored Captain Tom and he was really hoping that he would be able to meet him. 'If it wasn't for Captain Tom I don't think Tony would be walking on his prosthetics today.' 'He said, 'I can do that' and wanted to set his own challenge, and we did, not expecting it to be anything like it was. She said: 'Tony wasn't interested in trying to walk before he saw Captain Tom on the TV, and he was just absolutely taken aback by him. Ms Hudgell later told BBC Breakfast that she firmly believed Tony would not be walking today if it had not been for Captain Tom.
