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

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.

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
