Privileged to lay a wreath on behalf of the 'Sikh Pioneers & Sikh Light Infantry Association UK' at the Chattri Memorial. 1/34th Sikh Pioneers suffered significant losses at Festubert & was the only Sikh regiment to win the covetted title 'Royal' for services rendered during #WW1

Again privileged to lay a wreath at the Chattri Memorial along with serving Hindu & Muslims from the Royal Navy, British Army 🇬🇧, Royal Air Force and Civil Service. The memorial is for 53 Sikhs & Hindus that were hospitalised in Brighton, but paid the ultimate price. Defence Sikh Network UK

A very special day at the Chattri today for the annual commemoration of the Sikh and Hindu soldiers of the British Indian Army who died of their wounds in WW1 at the Brighton war hospitals. Hundreds of people gathered under the sun to pay their respects and honour these brave men

Congratulations to His Majesty The King on his #Coronation

The Defence Sikh Network is honoured to serve and celebrate this historic moment.

We wish the King a long and prosperous reign filled with peace, progress, and unity.

Thank you to all those that came over to say hello at the Mayor of London’s #Vaisakhi event in Trafalgar Square. It was great to engage with so many people and celebrate this auspicious Sikh festival!

It's taken me too long, but finally, yesterday, I visited the REME Museum. I really shouldn't have been surprised by just how interesting the artefacts are, and how imaginatively they're displayed and explained.

Today is #AnzacDay2023 – a national day to commemorate personnel of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).

Our thoughts are with our Australian Army and New Zealand Army colleagues as they remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of peace. 🙏

A great encounter between 152 (North Irish) Regiment RLC & 4 LANCS in Belfast today, QF of the Army Reserve Challenge Cup. Thoroughly enjoyed refereeing the game and 4 LANCS deserved the victory.

Saint Valentine was martyred on 14 February around 269 AD. He was given a feast day by Pope Gelasius in 496 AD, which we know as St #ValentinesDay and associate with romantic love.

Did you know Saint Valentine is also the patron saint of beekeepers and epilepsy❓
