Very many paintings have been made of him. Obviously, all of them have been done from photos or a still of Captain Tom on television. That hasn't stopped people demonstrating their preferred painting style.
Here are some of them....

This is a slightly different way of making a picture of Captain Tom - via photos of people saluting him
As part of the #BBCMakeADifference project, thousands of people have been sending us photos of themselves saluting @captaintommoore for his 100th birthday. Can you spot yourself?https://t.co/AXoFkEtKL1 pic.twitter.com/t3Pk0RNzm4— BBC Cambridgeshire (@BBCCambs) April 30, 2020
and then there are the cakes!
There's a big temptation to make cakes for an individual who has his 100th Birthday today.Some of the cakes are stunning just as sculptures
This simply splendid cake made by an unidentified lady was posted on Facebook - and is outstanding!

Here's wishing Captain Tom Moore - or should I say Colonel Moore? - a very happy 100th Birthday!
