Joined diplomatic colleagues this morning to lay a wreath for #LestWeForget Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph here in Hong Kong. Honouring those who set aside their dreams so we might have ours.

Today we celebrate an extraordinary legacy as we mark the 70th anniversary of HM The Queen’s accession to the throne. An exemplar of service throughout my career in HM Diplomatic Service: an honour to be Her Majesty’s Consul-General here in Hong Kong. #PlatinumJubilee

Some positive news, reflecting some of the points made by consulates and businesses over the past weeks. More, of course, to discuss and we will continue to press on issues of interest, including on flights, to UK nationals and business here.

I woke this morning with heavy heart to news of the passing of HM The Queen. Her integrity, compassion, dedication and public service inspired those of us who served in her name. Our deepest condolences to The Royal Family.

Flower tributes surround UK in Hong Kong 🇬🇧; in 11 days just over 13000 HKers, young and old, have signed condolence books. Thank you HK for acknowledging Her Majesty’s legacy and our nation’s grief. A final farewell as I watch the State Funeral with family, friends, colleagues.
