Was a unique honour to be with RBDF CDF to watch the four new Bahamian officers pass out from BRNC last Friday. The event was made even more special by the attendance of His Majesty.

Yesterday, the Government of Jamaica welcomed the arrival of relief supplies from the United Kingdom. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Government and people of the UK for their timely and support during this challenging period. Relief operations are fully underway. Supplies are being sorted, mobilized, and distributed across the island to assist families and communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. Many areas have already begun receiving critical aid, including food, water, medical items, and temporary shelter materials. We are aware that several communities remain isolated or are difficult to access due to damaged infrastructure. I want to reassure the Jamaican people that every effort is being made to reach them. Through coordinated efforts by the JDF, JCF, ODPEM, and local authorities, we are deploying relief by land and air. We are ensuring that every Jamaican receives the help they need. No one will be left behind.

Accompanied the RBC on a visit to the CWGC in Antigua last Friday. Thanks to the Antigua and Barbuda Tot Club for their outstanding work looking after the site. Your dedication to remembrance is truly inspiring. 🇬🇧🇦🇬 #Antigua #UKDefence #LestWeForget #CWGC #Remembrance #Caribbean

Thanks to the JCCF for the invite to their open day at the William Knibb Memorial High and Holland School last Sunday. The displays were impressive and showcased excellent teamwork of the cadets and reflected technical proficiency and innovation. Congratulations to all involved.
