While other investitures due to be held at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh in June and July were postponed, a special exception was made for Sir Tom, who raised more than £32M for National Health service charities.
The unprecedented personal ceremony was staged in Windsor Castle's quadrangle on Friday, with Sir Tom's daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, son-in-law Colin Ingram, grandson Benjie and granddaughter Georgia watching.
Ahead of the event, 100 year old Sir Tom tweeted that he was "raring to go", for what he said would be a "very special day" for him, and thanked everyone for their well wishes.
