Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif attended and addressed King Charles III’s birthday ceremony as the chief guest.

The Prime Minister said that two million Pakistani citizens are playing a prominent role in various sectors in the United Kingdom. With Britain’s cooperation, historic projects in education, health, and skill development have been completed. This wide-ranging partnership between Pakistan and the United Kingdom would not have been possible without the interest and patronage of the Royal Family. King Charles III is a symbol of public service and global awareness.

Important visit to Pakistan following the hugely welcome ceasefire with India.

Because of the deep links between our countries, the UK is determined to play our part with India, Pakistan and international partners to help counter terrorism and ensure this peace lasts.

Diplomacy and a purr-fect role have lured me out of retirement. I’ve just started work as feline relations consultant (semi-retired) to the new Governor of Bermuda. I’ve been busy meeting very welcoming Bermudians @TheRoyalGazette @FCDOGovUK

The deciding match of the England vs Pakistan series started today! With our very own Political Counsellor, @ZWareFCDO opening up proceedings on her clarinet with the @TheBarmyArmy. Good luck @englandcricket!

@LordRickettsP This is absolutely fantastic, I’ve never seen this before. Obviously a lot of this is out of date, but doing pre-posting training I can’t help wonder if we’ve gone too far the other way and now rather chuck people into the deep end of unspoken rules!

👑 After every Coronation, a ‘Coronation Roll’ is produced. This historic document records details of the service for posterity. Now, for the first time, a digital version has been created.

📜 The physical version of the roll was presented to The King and Queen earlier this week.

An unexploded ‘WW2 grenade’ has been found by a gardener in St James’ Park next to Horseguards.

Large cordon and a bit of excitement from tourists as a loud controlled explosion was carried out.

My £7 Wilko electric whisk was the first appliance I bought for myself, and it’s still going strong some 15 years later, and many more purchases since. I love their products. I do hope it’s not the end 💔

🔴 The high street retailer Wilko has gone into administration, putting 12,000 employees at risk of losing their jobs, just days after it was revealed the chain was on the brink of collapse

Thank you @parliamentchoir @SouthbankSinf for a truly memorable performance of Elgar’s masterpiece ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ at the Basilica of St Paul’s outside the Walls. An extraordinary moment to be part of.
