This #CommonwealthDay, we reflect on the shared history that unites us. From the bravery of the personnel from across the Commonwealth who fought in the World Wars to those who serve in the UK Armed Forces today. Together, we thrive.

John 'Paddy' Hemingway was the last of 'The Few', the brave airmen who in our darkest hour turned the tide of war. As we mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War this year, we honour and remember their extraordinary service to our country.

No matter the time zone, our Armed Forces personnel raised a toast (and maybe a slice of cake) this week for #VEDay80. Hard at work across the globe keeping the UK protected, these communities took a well-earned moment to mark the occasion together with food, fun and fellowship.
