A huge thank you to the @GrenadierGds for their participation in the Cenotaph Parade this weekend. Since 1934, this unique tradition has honoured 🇬🇧 - 🇧🇪 ties, with Belgium remaining the only non-Commonwealth nation permitted to march in uniform and bear arms.

This week at Vroenhoven bridge over the Albert Canal we remembered the heroism and sacrifice of UK and BE aviators from 12 and 5 Squadrons. A joint flypast of UK Typhoons and Belgian F16s symbolised the shared history between the UK and Belgium. #WeWillRememberThem

Today we mark the 80th Victory in Europe Day. We come together to celebrate peace and freedom, in solemn remembrance of the sacrifices made to defend these ideals. #VEDay.
A victory that was hard fought and hard won. A victory that involved every part of society. 80 years on, we salute the extraordinary generation that liberated our continent and ensured that we, the generations that followed, can continue to live in peace. #VEDay80

Today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay , we mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where more than a million Jews, Poles, Romani, homosexuals and others were murdered. We will never forget this atrocity - nor fail to stand up to prejudice, hate and antisemitism.
