Between the DYNAMO and OVERLORD anniversaries, found this museum to Admiral Ramsey at his family home in the Borders. Such a shame he didn't get to enjoy his retirement. Stephen Fisher Royal Navy

Armed Forces Day in Lincoln. Another very hot day, great to see a mix of generations. Wonderful to be asked to give a presentation about Lincolnshire Reservists afterwards. Up the Yeller Bellies! RoyalAnglianRegt-Museum Royal Anglian Regiment Charity REHS 75 Engineer Regiment

First game for too many years. Turned out for the village 2nd XI. 2 runs (not out) in a stand of 28. 45 overs of fielding at deep fine leg and midwicket. Took a 'match-changing catch', leading to a win by 20 runs. Everything hurts today.

Well done to this man who found a wallet in Southend and went to the effort of taking it back to the owners house... still with £500 cash inside it! Emy Abi said: "This man found my brother's wallet and dropped it back to the house for him. We have no idea who he is but wanted

2nd game of the season. Away at a quirky country ground. Overhanging oak trees, boundary beyond the rise on the far side of the pitch. We lost, but I scored a four. Love it.

Rain stopped play for a bit this afternoon. Opposition All Out for 49, early tea taken and we got 50-1. Took a catch and did the scoring, "Bowler's name, please!"

Minden Day - 1st of August 1759 The Seven Years’ war began in 1754 (although hostilities in Europe did not commence until 1756) and lasted until 1763. It was a result of tensions overseas between Britain and France, as each sought to extend their influence worldwide, and concerns

Opposition was a player short. We lent them a young lad, who scored 17 runs. We lost by 6 runs. Claiming a moral victory, but the real winner was village cricket, possibly.

Mr Benn entered the shop one last time. Suddenly the Shopkeeper appeared. "It's time to go" he said. Remembering Ray Brooks, accomplished actor and Mr Benn narrator who has died aged 86.

For those that sacrificed so much, it is of vital importance to remember the victory over Japan. We must never forget what was endured during those fierce battles in some of the most brutal & inhospitable conditions. #VJDay80
