Looking forward to this, I have such admiration for Nicole Girard-Mangin. A heroic doctor who risked her life for her patients #worldwarwomen #femaletommies

A small unexpected victory. As the world’s worst gardener I pulled up my daughter’s favourite clematis. By some fluke I’ve managed to grow 5 new ones from cuttings... thankfully she’s now forgiven me. #amateur #GardenersWorld

Finding #InternationalWomensDay a bit hard to embrace this year - half of women in UK fear equality is going back to 1970s theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…

A fascinating insight into the being a female army officer. These women are such an inspiration! A great way to commemorate #IWD2021 - if you are considering an army career and want to find out more, you can catch the next webinar on 15th March! #internationalwomensday2021

Was great talking to Tony Livesey on BBC Radio 5 Live just now, about Dunkirk 81 years ago. Today is the funeral of Alfred White, one of the last surviving veterans of Operation Dynamo #veterans #WWII #Dunkirk

Can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas already, and the kids haven’t even gone back to school yet! When is it acceptable to have that first mince pie? #xmas #xmascountdown #mincepie

It is with deepest sorrow that the Royal British Legion marks the death of our Sovereign and Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen has served as Patron of the Royal British Legion since 6 February 1952. 1/3

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them. #TwoMinuteSilence #LestWeForget #ArmisticeDay
