💂🐎🎺 With over 1000 soldiers, 200 horses and 300 musicians on parade to mark the official birthday of The King, Trooping the Colour returns on Saturday.
🎥 Watch to find out more about the annual parade, and follow along today on @TheRoyalFamily.
With thanks to the 1,400 members of the Armed Forces took part in today’s Trooping the Colour, and with special mention to the Grenadier Guards who trooped their new Colour. We salute you 🫡
An insightful visit to Faslane, spending time with service personnel, touring a Vanguard-class submarine and meeting with their LGBTQ+ Network.
Thank you to everyone who serves in the Submarine Service - and to their families for their unwavering support 🫡
Thank you to everyone at The Christie for such a moving visit today.
Meeting patients, families and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty and change is deeply personal.
The Christie’s commitment to holistic care, from art therapy and wellbeing spaces to emotional and spiritual support, helps people navigate not only illness, but the profound impact it can have on quality of life. These services empower patients to play an active role in their recovery and wellbeing, reminding us that care should always be centred on the whole person.
Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity and dedication shown every day across the hospital.

Three years ago, we set out to take a different approach, to think more carefully about how the Duchy could use its land to create opportunity and support people over the long term, including launching a project here in Cornwall to help tackle homelessness with the right support around it. It’s fantastic to come back at Nansledan and to see that beginning to take shape, and to meet some of the people now calling it home. There’s still more to do, but it’s encouraging to see what’s already possible when you bring together the right people, ideas and ambition. W
What a night. Thank you to Turkey for hosting a great final. Incredible atmosphere and great sportsmanship from Freiburg. Enjoy the parade, Birmingham. W

Over the past two days in Reggio Emilia, I have seen first hand the power of nature and creativity that put human connection at the centre of a child’s world.
I have had such a deeply moving and unforgettable time here. Thank you to the people of Reggio Emilia for welcoming me into a culture of care with such warmth and generosity.
Our collective work in early childhood must be to protect and nurture the connections that form the foundations of life-long wellbeing.
Grazie di cuore,

Prioritising early childhood and investing in the foundations of a healthier, more connected society.
Today marks the launch of Foundations for Life, a guide developed by @Earlychildhood for everyone working with babies, young children and their families.
Truly wonderful to see conversations with families, researchers and education leaders reflect a shared commitment to embedding the guidance across teaching, training and practice.
