They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them

Thank you for your Service 🙏🕯️

I have every sympathy & empathy for people with mental health struggles and I’ve remained silent & professional up to now - even having suffered several very personal attacks. In my 30years service I only experienced the feeling of being bullied and harassed once and guess what??

Rob Davis, second in command at Avon Fire and Rescue Service at the time, tells @PaulBrandITV he reached crisis point after challenging sexual harassment and bullying there https://t.co/I4l1BPp5dZ

@ExChiefChrisB We were there only a few weeks ago mate. Did you visit the Cheers bar??

[Mick Crennell QFSM @mickcrennell]

Scott you have completely missed the point and are far out of touch - I served the public for 30years and throughout that time the term ‘Firefighters’ was used. Please stop disrespecting our women firefighters, catch-up and stop reading comics!!

A wonderful couple of family days in Windsor and a fantastic way to sign-off on 30 years of public service 🙏 #thankful #humbled

[Mick Crennell QFSM @mickcrennell]

Well that was a very special morning!! Presented with the QFSM by his majesty the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle - feeling hugely thankful and very proud. My most humble thanks to everyone that helped me along the way. Especially my wonderful family, friends and colleagues 🙏

[Mick Crennell QFSM @mickcrennell]

I woke up this morning hoping that it had all been a nightmare - then I realised it was. I for one have shed quite a few tears. God bless you - Elizabeth the Great the Gandma of the world. 💔🌹🙏 #RIPLegend
