Faaborg New Cemetery, Denmark was visited by a member of The Denmark Team, working voluntarily and proudly for Commonwealth War Graves. Action was taken by the Team to get the ivy removed and over a period of time the result was the pristine plot, covered with pearl gravel, ready for flowers.

The Australian Embassy in Copenhagen once again excelled themselves with a moving and respectful ANZAC Dawn Ceremony in Churchill Park, Copenhagen. Here from the Australian War Memorial where Peer Petersen and I were proud to lay the Poppy Wreath for CWGC.

An earlier post mentioned it was unusual for CWGC's Headstones to be inpainted. In Denmark are several cemetery locations where inpainting has been used, probably to enable enhanced legibility of inscriptions from a distance. Here are 25 in Copenhagen Western 24 WWI + 1 WW2

On this day, WW1 RAF pilot Lt. Walter Yeulett KIA whilst bombing the Zeppelin hangar in German held Tønder, now Denmark. This was the first attack by the newly renamed RAF from the first aircraft carrier, HMS Furious, 19th July 1918. Looked after by CWGC in Nørre Havrvig, Denmark

Tomorrow, 17th September marks the start of the battle for the bridge at Arnhem in 1944. It is tragic that 1,772 identified British soldiers rest in Arnhem Oosterbeek Cemetery. The many graves are lovingly maintained forever by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Photo Commonwealth War Graves

No wonder the toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot! Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING!

What country has the most nuclear new build plants either under construction or planned & funded in the Western world? No, the answer is actually: Britain! With 6.4 Gigawatts on the way, plus the promise of a big SMR rollout, things might be looking up! And there's more…

A poignant moment at Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv where I paid my respects on behalf of the British people to the countless Ukrainians who have died in the service of their country. The sea of flags at the Field of Mars tell their own story 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Going heavy on nuclear power instead of intermittent wind & solar is going to be a game changer. Backing small modular reactors at Wylfa means reliable, baseload power, stronger energy security, and a serious step towards long term stability. This is exactly the kind of
