Today, HMS Belfast commemorated the 80th anniversary of D-Day with a simulated gun salute.
The anniversary is particularly significant for the ship, which supported the assaults on Gold and Juno beaches during the Normandy Landings, firing almost continuously for five weeks.

Well, ok. Let's do this.
@Se_Railway hi, just got locked on a train with other passengers at St Pancras. Was given approximately 4 minutes to pack bags and get off train, before the doors were locked. I’ve just missed my connecting train as a result. Was on the 6:41 from Margate

Zigi Shipper. A gentleman. I’m deeply saddened to hear of his passing. What a legacy he leaves behind. His lifelong commitment was to educate others about the past & so I thought it only apt to share again Zigi’s story in Zigi’s words.

@RoyalMailHelp I can’t get through on the phone to your missing items team as they are not accepting any calls. This was my late grandmother’s camera, and I am really concerned that you have lost it. Can someone please respond to my DM? Thanks
@RoyalMailHelp hi there - I know there’s a strike on, but you’ve had my valuable special delivery item for a week now with no updates. I’m concerned it’s now been lost - can you help? It’s an item of significant sentimental value. Thanks
