'I’m truly bowled over by the outpouring of support and affection since revealing my dementia diagnosis.

'Receiving a dementia diagnosis can turn your world upside down, but I really do believe it’s better to know.

'Too many people are experiencing delays in diagnosis - on average 3.5 years - meaning they’re left in limbo without the help they need.

'An early diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, care and the chance to take part in research that could change the future. 

'People living with dementia and their families have waited long enough for change. We must demand better for everyone affected.

'I would urge everyone to join me in signing Alzheimer’s Society’s open letter calling on government to deliver a bold and ambitious plan for dementia.’

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever.

We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women.

Our debt to them can never be repaid.

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.

Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.

Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

Today, I was sworn in once again as Prime Minister.

I give thanks to Almighty God, and I thank the Bahamian people for this sacred trust. As I renew my commitment to serve, I pray that we may be instruments of peace - choosing unity over discord, faith over doubt, and hope over despair.

May we move forward together, in service to one another and to the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. 🇧🇸

[Shirley Botchwey @SGCommonwealth]

Congratulations to Prime Minister @HonPhilipEDavis on his re-election and to the people of The Bahamas on the successful exercise of their democratic choice.
