Tony Wins Pride of Britain Award
In October 2020, Tony was overjoyed with having the honour of re-opening Hamleys after lockdown. Once inside Tony, marvelling at so many toys in one place was completely surprised to see two of the life-size Nutcracker soldiers come to life and march towards him.
These ‘toys’ were none other than Ant and Dec! Tony said “that surprised me” and there was more to come as Ant and Dec presented Tony with his Pride of Britain award for being Britain’s Youngest Fundraiser 2020 for raising £1.5M.
Tony is a massive fan of Ant and Dec and at one stage wanted to change his name to Ant&Dec so meeting them in Hamleys made his day – as well as winning such a prestigious award of course!
