It comes after the news that the Queen has appointed Colonel Tom Moore as the first Honorary Colonel of the Army Foundation College Harrogate to mark his birthday.
The promotion comes alongside a personal letter from Her Majesty and the new Colonel has also been re-presented with his Second World War Defence Medal ahead of next week's VE Day celebrations.
And, along with the usual cake and champagne, there'll be two flypasts to mark his big day today – by Army Air Corps helicopters as well as a Spitfire and Hurricane in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has also paid tribute to Colonel Tom, saying he not only embodies 'the spirit of our incredible veteran community but also the resolve of this nation'.
