A small Drone has impacted the airfield at
RAF Akrotiri and all agencies are responding.
There are no casualties but there is minor damage. However the incident is ongoing.
Genuinely lost for words hearing the news of Lucy Wilde who's sadly passed away. We only spoke to her recently before her passing. This has hit home for a few admins and a lot of the community.
Rest in Peace Lucy you absolute legend. You’ll be missed dearly. ❤️🕊️
The Ministry of Defence has announced the death of a British Armed Forces Soldier over in Ukraine in a "tragic accident".
Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time. ❤️🇬🇧
I’m often asked my opinion on the regimental system and I know some are against the idea. Here’s why I believe it’s vitally important.
Sharing with permission of the SP and his family.
Meet Sgt Rowlands, a great Welsh Guardsman from Holyhead. Currently employed in ITC Catterick.
Aged 37, Rowly has unfortunately experienced three strokes in 7 weeks, he’s currently left mostly blind and without full motion in the left side of his body.
Due our Regimental Charity and the funding I receive from our trustees I’ve been able to help the following way.
- Purchased a white stick to replace the poor issues one
- Accommodated his family twice in an Air BnB so they could visit him.
The best bit is last week I was able to purchase a VR headset, presented to Rowly by the Commanding Officer.
Rowly is currently at home watching Netflix on his VR headset, for the first time in 8 weeks he is able to see something and watch some sort of normality.
He will be watching the Kings Birthday Parade this Saturday.
Our charity also employs a Veterans Officer so when the time comes for me to hand him over when he finally leaves the service he will be properly cared for and transitioned into civilian life.
That’s exactly why the Regimental system should never be watered down or disappear. @Official_1WG@WelshGuardsWGR@BlindVeterans
Royal Marine John Carr strenuously denies being a 'neo-Nazi', and while a member of the Homeland Party he says he would not be if the party held such affiliations.
"It's a party that is in no way affiliated with anything Nazi at all."
