Signage salute to Captain Tom
Ocean Outdoor UK paid tribute to Captain Tom Moore on his 100th birthday by screening a special message on its famous Piccadilly Lights location in London.
Captain Tom, who was also made an honorary colonel on his birthday, raised more than £33m for NHS charities by walking 100 lengths of his garden during the ongoing novel coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.
To mark his birthday celebrations on May 1st, Ocean Outdoor, in partnership with Landsec, which owns the Piccadilly Circus screen, broadcast a message alongside a picture of Captain Tom smiling down on the capital.
Ocean Outdoor UK joint managing director Phil Hall says: “Like the rest of the country, we wanted to send our best regards to Captain Moore, a national hero who has achieved so much.”
Landsec commercial media manager Derek Manns adds: “We’re pleased to be able to join the national celebrations for Captain Moore by dedicating the Piccadilly Lights to his life and achievements.”
