Every once in a while, I need to bring this out again

Hold onto your hats! 👒

It was a blustery morning at the Founder’s Day Parade in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea, where The Queen reviewed troops on parade and delivered an address.

🫡 The Royal Hospital Chelsea is home to the Chelsea Pensioners, retired soldiers of the British Army. Since 1692, it has offered care, community and comradeship to veterans.

TPD Milo has had 2 changes of handler and 7 weeks in kennels while we tried to find a new puppy walker for him without success. So he’s missed a lot of training and now he’s living with me & TPD Ronnie. Bite work isn’t going to be a problem

Officers of the 116th Infantry Regiment have been given their objectives on D Day. A Company's commanding officer, Bedford Boy Taylor Fellers, is certain tonight that he is on a suicide mission, believing he and his men will be slaughtered. He is right. This is where he and 1006 men will be killed, wounded, or missing in action from his regiment.

"Their sacrifice will not be forgotten"

A moment's silence took place before the start of the IS Ice Hockey final, to pay tribute to the three Royal Navy helicopter crash victims

On this day in 2003, Andy Serkis accepted Gollum’s MTV Movie Award for Best Virtual Performance and turned it into one of the greatest acceptance speeches ever.

It was so good it won a Hugo Award the next year for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.

[Devon Police Dogs @DevonPoliceDogs]

Traffic & Armed Response officers were forced to make tactical contact to stop a dangerous driver, who continued to try and break out of the stop. PD Albert was deployed into the car and persuaded them make the right decision. PD Jasper then located class B drugs in the car 🐾

[Freddie Webb @FredsDotW]

It was a privilege to cover the funeral of Jack Meacham, a Portsmouth WWII veteran who died aged 106. Serving sailors and former personnel lined the route to the Crematorium in tribute to his service. The family described the experience as 'phenomenal' ♥️

This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10

[Mambo Italiano @mamboitaliano__]

🚨 212 years of the Italian Carabinieri 🇮🇹✨

A source of endless national pride

Honor, tradition, and an unmatched aesthetic

A belly full of grass and a fresh bed make the perfect combo for Amber’s afternoon nap! 🐴💤

A U.S. Coast Guard C-130 from Air Station Clearwater performs a precision low-pass message drop. These aircraft can also deliver life rafts, medical supplies, survival gear, dewatering pumps, flares, and other emergency equipment to vessels in distress.

“It is with great sadness that we can confirm the deaths of Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson and Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher of 846 Naval Air Squadron, and Petty Officer Owen Green of 845 Naval Air Squadron.”

My thoughts are with all of their friends, family and loved ones. 🫡🇬🇧

Lord Ralphington met a beautiful young Irish girl earlier.

Caoimhe pronounced Keeva is a 7 month old Irish Wolfhound.

And an absolute sweetheart she was too! 😍

In the middle of a heatwave, a water truck paused to spray water over stray dogs, giving them a moment of relief..🐕‍🦺🐾😊❤️
