A special and superb evening at @StPaulsLondon for the annual Evensong and Service of Thanksgiving for members of the Order of the British Empire. Also nice to meet @sally0range in the congregation and speak to other members of the order to hear their inspirational stories.

Very special to attend the #RemembranceSunday parade at the former @RoyalMarines Eastney today. Great to catch up with old friends and colleagues, see @VCCcadets on parade and join my parents in honouring not just the fallen but also our old mate Dan Collins. #WeWillRememberThem

Back up to London today for some PFM Awards judging. Reflecting over a cappuccino (from the marvellous station buffet) on the peace of a country railway station at one end and the vibe of the big smoke at the other. Rather glad I no longer have to do this five days a week!

A beautiful sunset in #Paris this evening from the Montparnasse Tower, ending a superb day of exploring this charming city. Nearing the end of a fantastic week in 🇫🇷 with way too much fine wine and delicious food.

Absolutely superb to grab a wet (brew) with my good mate @HQC_East_RTO whilst I was up in Notts/Leic way on business. It was a good chance to pull up a sandbag/swing the lamp, but moreover congratulate him on his very well deserved MBE a few weeks ago. Top bloke!

Very much thinking about the 7 July attacks in London 20 years ago today. Clearly a horrid day for those involved & the first responders, but we also saw the best of our capital city. Grateful no colleagues were seriously hurt. Thoughts are with those who died & their relatives.

To our new cadets: having been a cadet myself (way back now!) and gone through my own pass out parade, I know how proud you must feel! Tell everyone how proud you are - you’ve earned it. Remember to always #BeWorthy 💪
BZ to Recruit Troop 2/24 from @PlymouthRMVCC on completing training! The #PassOutParade was a proud moment, attended by family, & invited guests. The cadets were paraded, before the @BandsRMVCC Plymouth delivered a fantastic drum display to round off the parade in style 🥁

A good final few days in Switzerland, France and Belgium before arriving home yesterday. Over 5k kms, 14 camp sites and way too much food. The continent seems so much smaller now. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐 Good to be home.

Enjoyed a superb couple of days in Austria visiting Salzburg and Vienna. The military museum there was fascinating, especially to see the car in which Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Yesterday’s stop was in Lake Bled in Slovenia, and Italy beckons today. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐

A superb couple of days on my #EuroRoadTrip travelling through Germany. Interesting visits to Frankfurt, & Nuremberg, then Munich (nowhere near as much drinking compared to my last visit!) and this morning to Neuschwanstein Castle. On the road to Saltzburg for schnitzel now. 🚐

An interesting day of WW2 history at Arnhem and Oosterbeek today, a couple of fascinating Airborne museums. Spent longer than planned there so had to skip Düsseldorf and Cologne stops, now on way to tonight’s campsite for some MEL replanning over a beer or two. #EuroRoadTrip 🚐

That was such a very special day at Windsor Castle as I was presented with my MBE by HM The King. It was great to share the experience with my parents and meet many of the other much more worthy recipients. My thanks to the Royal Household staff for being so friendly & helpful.🥈
