A uniform tells you who they serve.
A poppy reminds us why.

Our HMS Collingwood sailors joined #LondonPoppyDay at Canary Wharf, supporting @PoppyLegion.

Behind every uniform, a person. Behind every person, a family.
Behind every poppy, a story worth remembering.

🇬🇧🌹 THE 457 – AFGHANISTAN. FOREVER REMEMBERED. ♥️

457 British service personnel who lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Not just names on a memorial. They were our mates, our brothers and sisters in arms.

They had families, dreams and plans for a future they never got to live.

For those of us who served in Afghanistan, remembrance isn't just about history. It's personal.

We remember their faces, their laughter, their courage and the empty spaces they left behind.

457 lives. 457 sacrifices. Not one forgotten.

🌹 Stand easy, lads and lasses. We'll see you at the reorg.

🇬🇧 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. 🇬🇧

A word of advice to wannabe adventurers. One of the primary traits of being a decent explorer (and human in general) is humility. If you’re doing a little paddle in a blow up kayak down a completely safe river and happen to forget to charge your phone don’t gob off and go on the BBC pretending you had a near death experience.

Today, the UK government announced the allocation of an additional £10 billion in aid to Ukraine.

This British assistance does not simply help Ukraine continue its fight. It is an impulse of resilience at a time when the enemy is trying to force Ukraine to capitulate through terror against peaceful cities. This is support that truly saves Ukrainian lives.

I am grateful to Prime Minister @andyburnham , His Majesty's Government and all the people of the United Kingdom for their principled stance and concrete actions within the framework of our strategic partnership. Thank you for standing alongside Ukraine in the fight for freedom, security and a just peace🇬🇧🇺🇦

[Bear Grylls OBE @BearGrylls]

The Royal Marines are one of the few families in the world that truly have my heart. Not because of the toughness, though that's real. But because of the brotherhood and spirit of never giving up that runs through all they do. The quiet, unsung commitment of people who give everything and rarely get the recognition they deserve. Louis Theroux came along with me on a tour I did. I think he got to understand something about service that's hard to explain from the outside.

What is the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF)?

Led by the UK, JEF brings together 10 northern European nations to strengthen security, protect critical infrastructure and respond rapidly to emerging threats.

Working together makes us stronger. 🤝

[FalklandsinUK @FalklandsinUK]

Wishing a very Happy 362nd Birthday to the @RoyalMarines from the Falkland Islands. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

The Royals have a long history of extraordinary service in the Falklands and so to all - serving, veterans and cadets - we sincerely thank you.

Our wonderful Poppy Appeal volunteers are doing an excellent job in Waitrose. They are enjoying meeting those supporting our Armed Forces Community. If your passing please go over and say hello and perhaps get a photo of them in action for us. Thank you. #poppyappeal #alcester

Kenny was interviewed yesterday about how our funding awarded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust on behalf of the @VeteransGovUK Veterans Capital Housing Fund will help improve accessibility for veterans at Entrain Space.

I also met some of the teams working on the cutting-edge autonomous and uncrewed systems that will help protect our underwater energy pipelines and internet cables from the growing threats and grey zone activity we have seen Russia perpetrating in recent years.

[First Sea Lord Sir Gwyn Jenkins @GenGJenkinsRM]

The nuclear deterrent is the bedrock of our national security.

That’s why the submarine maintenance improvements we’re making at Devonport are vital.

Last Friday, I visited Royal Navy personnel and staff from Babcock to thank them for their efforts.

🇺🇦 Someone made food. Someone found a table. Someone gathered everyone together — and now here they are, crowded around bread and tea and each other, in a pine forest that smells like resin and peace and something very close to home. Everyone is eating. Everyone is together.

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

“Instead of thinking that Ukraine needs Europe, perhaps we should think that we in Europe need Ukraine more,” Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on April 28 in Helsinki. “Ukraine has the largest, most efficient, and most modern military in Europe.”

Stubb is undoubtedly right, and more European leaders should adopt this mindset.

[Entrain Space @EntrainSpace]

We came together in our café space to mark #VEDay with our resident veterans, taking time to reflect and remember what this day represents.

For Entrain Space this is an important opportunity to honour those who served and to recognise the lasting impact their service continues to have on generations today.

[Entrain Space @EntrainSpace]

Thanks to Vanya, Integration Manager from @ReedPartnership for inviting us to present at the monthly 'Lunch and Learn' for colleagues from the Career Transition Partnership @CTPinfo and Armed Forces Working Group on Friday.

Matthew and Kenny delivered an online briefing plus Q&A about Entrain Space to professionals from across the employment resettlement sector. This was a great opportunity to highlight our work supporting service leavers and veterans into civilian life and sustainable employment, and a chance to make valuable new connections to strengthen outcomes for our veterans.
