We are immensely grateful to The CHAMP Trust, @Greenwich_Hosp, @RNRMC, Bernard Sunley Foundation; a corporate donation from @PeakScientific, and additional private donations.

Today we said our fairwells to Bryn Parry, the founder of @HelpforHeroes. A magnificent man who made a massive difference to the way our wounded veterans are treated.
"If not now? When, if not me, who?
Delighted - all I really did was meet hoofing people, listen to their dits, drink their tea, and scribble it all down. Chuffed to have been nominated. @BBCBooks@RMA1664@theRMcharity@RoyalMarines
RMA City of London will be attending and remembering the 104th anniversary of the 1918 raid on Zeebrugge. Between the dates of 14th - 16th April 2023.
We very much look forward to once again re engaging with our Belgium friends & the Feestcomite.
@theRMcharity Good luck to all the Royal Marine runners, you will smash it ‘Royals’. Give us a wave at the Embankment at Westminster area, you will see us with a full sized Corps flag, collecting for the RMA-TRMC.

The King, Our Captain General
His Majesty The King appeared in Royal Marines uniform for the first time in his role as Captain General at the Mountbatten Festival of Music. The annual showpiece included a special opening fanfare dedicated to His Majesty.

Stronger than ever… 🇬🇧🇳🇱
This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UK-Netherlands Amphibious Force and an enduring bond that has stood the test of time. Together, we continue to work for the prosperity of our like-minded nations.

I worked with Zac when he was my Sgt Maj @45CdoGp, then a few years later @42_commando where he was the RSM for Telic. This story in the paper really doesn't surprise me about him.@CommandoTRG centre just builds @RoyalMarines differently. https://t.co/h05WXnRMDW
When you wake up this morning take a second to think about what a privilege it is to be alive!
Then think of all the opportunities you have or you can create to build a life for yourself that you can be proud of and that you can enjoy.
You have the power to do it all, so do it.
Bryn Parry, who redefined veterans care in this Country during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, is extremely unwell.
He changed hundred of lives of those who sacrificed the most for this nation; has a huge place in my heart and theirs; thoughts are with him and Emma at this time.
