@jayblades_ An excellent show, with an important reminder for those who set our academic curriculum, that there are some very gifted young people in our country who need an education system that guides them toward an apprenticeship and the development of their talents.

“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.”

His Majesty The King addresses the Nation and the Commonwealth.

Got back last night & we’d been burgled. Amongst all the stuff gone was my Dad’s war medals. They are irreplaceable & even though he’s been dead for 33 years, it’s another part of him that’s gone & I’m heartbroken. I don’t know where they would sell them, any ideas? 😢

Once a Sapper, always a Sapper. Ray Coleman was in 9 Para RE, 32 Amphibious, & a Sapper Football Ref. Ray's 90th Birthday was yesterday (24/9) & his family wanted to surprise him. We & @sapperfootball were delighted to assist. Happy Birthday Sapper Coleman 🎂🎈🎉

This weekend member of the branch joined the Southampton Veterans Center at a belated VJ day commemoration, followed by a family Picnic.

This week I commissioned a Sapper in the Regiment to be a Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers (yes, you read that right). This was a rare honour for me and the story behind this is truly inspiring….(1) @BritishArmy
