Wonderful to be back at the @USNavy War College for the 2025 Graduation 🫡

99-year-old WWII veteran Corporal Joseph Picard shares memories with our @RoyalMarines, of embarking from Bournemouth for D-Day.
Today, aboard the USS Constitution, UK & US forces reflected on the values that united us all those years ago and continue to bind us today. #VEDay80
Put through my paces in the pre-dawn gym group by the crew of HMS Prince of Wales as they begin their deployment.
The Carrier Strike Group supports thousands of jobs and- joined by allies - strengthens our partnerships and global security.
Fair winds and following seas.
This is just brilliant, the @RMBandService signalling the end of the day with the piece ‘Sunset’ played last night at the Mountbatten Festival of Music - not ashamed to say it always brings a tear to my eye…🫡
A special thank you to the outstanding British Embassy team in Washington @UKinUSA
Your tireless work behind the scenes does our nation proud.
Thank you for your support over the past few days.
@USMCSgtMaj and I were honored to be hosted by @UKinUSA & @UKdefUS to celebrate the Marine Corps' 250th birthday year. It’s fitting they’re the first to recognize this milestone, given our two Corps' long history of friendship, training, and interoperability in combat.
The unique relationship between the UK and US is as strong as ever. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
At a crucial moment, we have a responsibility to deepen our defence relations and to work together to ensure any peace in Ukraine is lasting.
That’s my message in Washington today.
A privilege to moderate. Terrific to also be joined by @USNavyCNO’s POLAD, Mr Mark Schapiro who added superbly the all important 🇺🇸 perspective.

The Embassy’s flag is flying at half-staff to honour the passing of US President Jimmy Carter.
President Carter’s lifetime of public service and humanitarian efforts will leave a lasting global legacy.
For more than 65 years 🇬🇧🇺🇸 have cooperated on defence nuclear issues. The 1958 Mutual Defence Agreement is at the core of this – its renewal reaffirms our collaboration in this deeply important area & signifies the trust, interoperability & commitment between our countries.
