Arise Sir Tom! We want to congratulate and celebrate the UK’s newest hero, Colonel Thomas Moore. We cannot applaud his efforts to raise money and support for the NHS enough, but we did extend a gift to him for his amazing achievement and recent milestone of becoming a centennarian.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Barbados has gifted the future Sir Tom an amazing holiday for him and his family to the island in recognition of his selflessness in this crisis. We cannot wait to welcome you to our shores and maybe take in some cricket with some of our other sirs on island?

Help us to recognise and reward your NHS heroes too, by entering our competition.

But did you know rum owes it’s existence to our beautiful 166 square mile island? That’s right, rum was first distilled in Barbados in 1703, but can anyone tell us what was rum’s original, and sinister sounding name in the 17th century? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
