With RSPCA (England & Wales) & KAALE we've taken over The White Cliffs of Dover!

Dover was the backdrop to so many live export shipments, now this is consigned to history.

More than a few twists there. And some careful inspection of the rivets.

When someone hears that your ex Para Regt and says 'I've done that, I used to skydive' 🤣 🟩🆎
Paratroopers from the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, get rigged up and ready to jump with American parachutes and alongside American soldiers during Exercise Swift Response in

Bad back? Bad knees? Never heard of them, up the Reg 💪🏼

This has already made my day and it’s still early for a Sunday. Just look at he smile on her face.

There’s always one.. 😂

Rather witty

Joining the Paras opens up opportunities you may not realise are out there. Here, Paratroopers across the Regiment compete in the HYROX Men's PRO doubles. This was funded by the Battalions (no cost to the soldiers) and was a fantastic day with all teams completing the competition

Today's #researchsnippet is the death of Enguerrand de Coucy, father of Marie, while crossing a ford his horse lost its footing, he fell off with his foot caught in the stirrup. 'And as he fell headlong his sword slipped from the sheath and transfixed his body.'
Ouch!

I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now.

As a proud Ambassador for the Motability Operations I’m excited to announce that next week I’ll be acting as a host at The Big Event! 🎤

The Big Event takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on the 17th and 18th of May and I’ll be there

'Based on True Events' -- that would be history would it?

Adversity has a way of revealing our hidden strengths. When faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, we often surprise ourselves. It's in the darkest moments that our true power shines through.

Remember, you are stronger than you think 🦾

Vomit inducing. From people who love #Russia so much they (sensibly) stay well away from it. Hypocritical sh*ts. I'd deport the lot of them back to Putin's hell hole. See how much they love it then when their families become cannon fodder.

No excuse is needed to switch off the computer today. Anniversaries come but once a year and there is no restraint when it comes to the dessert menu. Excellent grub at Orestone Manor, Devon.

Indeed. My mate Tommy Mac got his rope snared, burnt his legs and still went in. He's gone now like others but they made history. RIP Tom. #SAS .
