The saddest post I have ever had to write, but on Monday I lost my wonderful wife Miranda to cancer. I’ve been too upset to post and the kids are devastated naturally. I’m thankful for all the kind words of support from my friends in property and my #rugbyfamily

Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away.
The Gold Blend “will they, won’t they” ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment.
RIP Anthony

Pegasus Bridge.
In the darkness just after midnight on 6 June, six Horsa gliders carrying 181 men of 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (Ox & Bucks), plus Royal Engineers, slammed down in a daring glider assault. Led by Major John Howard

Please do turn on notifications, or keep coming back to my X page throughout the day.

I have loads of powerful D-Day stories on the way for today's 82nd anniversary.

[The Rifles @RiflesRegiment]

82 years ago today, D-Day took place. At 0015 hrs, our antecedent regiment, the 2nd Ox and Bucks, carried out the first action of the invasion. In this 1986 recording, Major John Howard recounts the glider assault on Pegasus Bridge, Codenamed OPERATION DEADSTICK.

Normandy veterans Ken Hay and Henry Rice were applauded as they arrived at The British Normandy Memorial for the D-Day Remembrance service.@ForcesNews

On this day in 1944 we began the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany.

This is one of the beaches, Omaha, that I filmed last year.

Hard to imagine landing on that beach under heavy fire and the immense casualties and loss of life.

Brave men. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦

Proud to support the new National Army Museum display that reunites Johnson Beharry’s Victoria Cross and the Warrior vehicle in which he earned it during two acts of incredible bravery in Iraq in 2004. It's a must see @NAM_London @johnsonbeharry

No idea how he found the strength to communicate like this. Dignified and objective while utterly damming.

Good to see Henry Nowak’s father coming out swinging. No forgiveness. No don’t look back in anger. Hunt the guilty down like a dog, Mr Nowak.
