Most amusing. Cheered me up.
Today, the @ChiefofAirStaff recorded a video message thanking the Royal Air Force for their hard work in these difficult times, and for the support of their families and loved ones. He also expresses his pride in the Royal Air Force's support to the Nation at times like this.
Outstanding concert tonight by @aircadetsmusic National Concert Band in St Clement Danes church. A wide-ranging & highly entertaining programme played with musicianship and exuberance. Morale in the I'Anson family is high.
Dad has dementia. Sometimes he drifts into another world and I feel like I’m losing him. He is never more present, however, than when he plays the piano. He came to mine today and I asked him to play one of his compositions. He thought he wouldn’t be able to remember it.
Great show for kids. Took ours a couple of years ago at the Edinburgh Fringe and they loved it.

Watch The Choir of St George’s Chapel sing ‘Carol of the Bells' in the Nave of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. #Christmas #Windsor
A wonderful concert tonight at St Clement Danes with the Central Band of the RAF and choir. Starting to feel Christmassy seeing their gorgeous Christmas Tree and singing a Christmas carol at the end!
So sad to hear that Sqn Ldr Geoffery Wellum DFC passed away on Wednesday evening. One of 'The Few', his book 'First Light' immortalised what it felt like to be a 19 year old Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain. RIP Geoffery, proud to have known you.
Thanks to the Peterborough Telegraph for this fantastic review of our concert with the Central Band of the RAF at The Cresset last Saturday! We’ll be doing it all over again in #Birmingham this Sunday, 17th June, join us! Tickets at... facebook.com/story.php?stor…
