It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike Jackson GCB, CBE, DSO, on 15 October surrounded by his family. General ‘Jacko’ served with distinction for over 40 years, finishing his career as Chief of the General Staff. He will be greatly missed, and long remembered. Utrinque Paratus.

🎖️ Cpl Prince from The Queen’s Royal Hussars Shines on Ex HIGHLAND HUSSARS! 🍽️ Cpl Prince, from our Catering Department, had an incredible week on Island Ark during Ex HIGHLAND HUSSARS. Not only did he feed 20 officers, but he also had the thrilling experience of stalking – and bagged his very first stag! 🦌 That wasn’t all… he took his culinary skills to the next level by preparing delicious meals using game meats like partridge, pheasant, venison, and pigeon, along with locally-sourced vegetables and fruit. 🌿🍇 Cpl Prince even showcased his expert butchery skills, breaking down whole stags and demonstrating the exceptional capabilities of military chefs in action. Throughout the week, he planned and prepared his own menus, receiving rave reviews from VVIP guests and officers – feedback that was nothing short of exceptional! 👨‍🍳✨ A true credit to his trade and the Regiment! 💪 #WeAreTheChefs #WeSustain #WeAreTheRLC @ChurchillsOwn

Tonight, Ellie & I are celebrating our 6th anniversary by drinking, on the floor of a hotel bathroom, in total silence, so as not to disturb the finally-asleep kids after a day of far too much sun, ice-cream & excitement. It isn't how we used to party, but it's working for us.

This! We should all be inspired. Thank you Adam Peaty. You are inspirational 🎉🎉🎉 @ArmySportASCB

Today we think about the dads and father figures in our military family - serving and non-serving. We also remember those who are no longer with us.

To the veterans of the Normandy campaign: thank you. #DDay80

10 FANYs provided support to the D-Day 80 event in Portsmouth on Wednesday 5 June, which was part of a series of major commemorations and events across the UK and in France commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Landings. #wewillrememberthem fany.org.uk/News/fanys-sup…

We dedicate today’s post to all the Women in War, whose contribution to D-Day and every other day of the war we will remember through the sharing of their amazing stories, with thanks to our guest bloggers the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), link in bio.

The Trust recorded this very special reading of the late, great Harry Billinge reading ‘The Longest Day’, on a trip to Normandy in 2018, when he visited the site of the Memorial for the first time. #DDay80

🗣️ “This is not ancient history. This took place in living memory.” The head of the British Army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, explains why commemorating D-Day is so important #DDay80
