It was a true privilege to join the Army Widows’ Association for their AGM dinner on Friday. It was a very special opportunity to meet so many of the remarkable members of the Association who have given so much for our country and support each other with so much warmth, humour and friendship. @armywidows

On #VEDay we remember those who served during WWII to achieve peace in Europe. We honour the courage of all who served, laying the foundation for the peace and freedoms we enjoy today. We acknowledge the sacrifice of those who did not come home, and the loved ones who grieved their loss. We will remember them. #LestWeForget
