We owe everything we most value to the generation who won the Second World War. Because of their victory 76 years ago millions today live in peace. We remember and salute them.

On this day in 1945, Winston Churchill declared Victory in Europe. Let us never forget the sacrifices made by that great generation. #VEDay

🏴 The election in Wales is TODAY.
🗳️ If you’re 16 or over, use your voice and vote in the #SeneddElection.
🕙 You have until 10pm to cast your vote.
Today is The Queen’s 95th birthday.
HM was born on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in London, the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York.
This year The Queen remains at Windsor Castle during a period of Royal Mourning following the death of The Duke of Edinburgh.
This afternoon we gave the 200,000th first dose of the Covid vaccine in our health board area. It’s a phenomenal achievement for a programme which has been running for less than six months.
All Welsh residents aged 16 and over, can vote in these elections. 🗳
As Scouts we want our young people to be active citizens and our own member surveys show that young people in Scouts are, on average, more likely to vote in elections than their peers who are not in Scouts.
Leader of the Reform group of Senedd members @CarolineJonesMS says her exclusion from yesterday’s commemoration of a year of lockdown is part of a pattern of discrimination against her in the Senedd.
The only female group leader in the Senedd ignored yet again.
Yet another example that females are ignored in the Senedd. Unless they agree with @yLlywydd and @fmwales
When the Senedd is dissolved, public health officials should lead these briefings to deliver essential public health messages.
This would allow all important information on the pandemic will still be broadcast but no party propaganda.
Today is #CommonwealthDay.
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54 independent countries. The Queen is Head of the Commonwealth.
