A warm welcome from this little fella, think I'll call him Max (if you know you know), in the ⁦@CWGC⁩ visitor centre in Ieper. Do pop in if you're in town for a friendly chat and a little history of The Menin Gate.

Humbled to be awarded a OBE for services to global commemoration in the King’s Birthday Honours. @CWGC work is a joint effort. This recognition is dedicated to all my colleagues who keep alive the memory of our war dead. #KingsHonours #OBE #ProudMoment

The Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial honours the contribution of South African military labourers who served in campaigns during the First World War in East Africa, and who were previously unrecognised, with no known grave or commemoration.

No one does it like The Reds. A truly special flypast by @rafredarrows over @CWGC Bayeux War Cemetery for #DDay80Ans The addition of a Typhoon in D-Day 80 colours especially poignant.

An unexpected appearance by Rishi Sunak this morning @GMB, standing alongside 99 year old DDay veteran Peter Kent, at a @CWGC launch event in Whitehall. They were sending the #DDay80 torch on a UK tour, helping to ignite interest among young people for the 80th anniversary.

Grateful beyond words for the unwavering support from @CWGC. Their commitment to "People First" isn't just a motto; grate efforts were made to ensure our safety in Egypt. Our hearts still with Gaza and our people, hoping for an end to the conflict soon. 🙏 #PeopleFirst @dgcwgc
