Isn’t it incredible that in the middle of one whole month (June) dedicated to Pride, the U.K. will soon have only one day (24th June) for the Armed Forces? There are 2 million veterans. 160,000 serving sailors, soldiers and airmen. 300 amputees alone from Afghanistan. 17,000 service personnel killed from conflicts and accidents since WW II. 5,000 homeless veterans. Thousands with mental health problems (PTSD) Veterans from wars in WWII, Korea, Malaya, Borneo, Cyprus, Aden, NI, Falklands, Iraq & Afghanistan. Instead we have the spectacle of the trans and alphabet brigade, many prancing around our streets for a whole month! Over the past 25 years our priorities have changed dramatically and the culture wars have taken priority. @JohnnyMercerUK @BWallaceMP @DanJarvisMP @Iromg @TiceRichard @afneil @EssexPR @charlie_lawson1 @JimDOfficial

@thehistoryguy wonder if you will be here? Southwick D-Day revival
Hello @PaversShoes do you allow military discount? - shopped recently and presented my MOD issue veterans ID card. They said it wasn’t the right card. The card was issued by the Ministry of Defence for 34 years service. Was pretty disappointed in the manager’s attitude.
@PennyMordaunt Immensely proud of you today - you looked immaculate, that heavy sword held so still - it was indeed mesmerising. I would have been shaking like a leaf! BZ indeed!
@JJChalmersRM @BBCMorningLive Good luck JJ What a special day for you 👑🍾👑
@PennyMordaunt Many congratulations Penny!
@CdreRichHarris @HMSMontrose Great to see the local news of her homecoming - even here in Wales we get Spotlight news - a return is always emotional. Have a wonderful Christmas together x
@RAdmJudeTerry great article in The Sunday Times Ma’am. Let’s get the Christmas party started! Best wishes from your retired former colleague - cheering you onwards and upwards!
@pinstripedline @NavyLookout @EngageStrategy1 @RfaNostalgia How about bringing back animal names like the tribal classes? RFA Tiger 🐅 RFA Lion or even RFA Orca? Failing that what about naming them after Castles in the U.K.?
@hmssevern Sending my best wishes to Commander Harper for his next adventures. A truly brilliant navigation instructor and inspirational leader.
@RoyalNavy @007 Ah Cdr Craig - we’ve been expecting you…🫡

#RoyalNavy sailors will have the honour of pulling the State Ceremonial Gun Carriage bearing HM The Queen’s coffin on Monday, a duty they have performed since the funeral of Queen Victoria in 1901. Find out more about the history of the Gun Carriage: ow.ly/gfmQ50KKeiQ

@NavyLookout Best wishes and safe travels to HM the Queen’s splendid frigate and her Ship’s Company.
@AlexSchillemore Quite right too… I could never live more than a few miles from the sea- ideally on it!
@navy_women Awesome result - historic!
@PeteReed I was thrilled to meet you after hearing so much about you - thank you for being a truly wonderful ambassador for the Royal Navy and enjoy every journey wherever life takes you in the future - fair winds 🌬
