Today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay , we mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where more than a million Jews, Poles, Romani, homosexuals and others were murdered. We will never forget this atrocity - nor fail to stand up to prejudice, hate and antisemitism.

Today is the funeral of Andrée (Codename 'Nadine') Dumont, one of Belgium's #WW2 Resistance heroes. As part of the Comet Line, she escorted Allied Airmen out of Belgium. After an incredible life, she passed away aged 102. The UK and #RAF remain forever grateful for her courage.

The UK is leading the 26th Ukraine Defence Contact Group today, the first European nation to do so. The Defence Secretary John Healey has arrived in NATO HQ along with over 40 partner nations demonstrating our unwavering support for Ukraine in this critical year. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦

Today marks 3 years since Russia's barbaric full scale invasion of Ukraine. We will continue to #StandWithUkraine and its pursuit of a just and lasting peace.

Last night, Group Captain John 'Paddy' Hemingway RAF, last remaining member of 'The Few', passed away aged 105. Almost 80 years since the end of WW2, a grateful nation honours his extraordinary service. Thank you Paddy. Per Ardua ad Astra

Today we mark the 80th Victory in Europe Day. We come together to celebrate peace and freedom, in solemn remembrance of the sacrifices made to defend these ideals. #VEDay

My thoughts are with the injured soldiers and their families this evening. I hope they have a speedy recovery.

This week at Vroenhoven bridge over the Albert Canal we remembered the heroism and sacrifice of UK and BE aviators from 12 and 5 Squadrons. A joint flypast of UK Typhoons and Belgian F16s symbolised the shared history between the UK and Belgium. #WeWillRememberThem

Always an honour and inspiration to meet Ukrainian veterans who are here to run the Brussels 20k. With thanks to #PromoteUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Grateful to join TRH The Princess Royal & Princess Claire of Belgium for the re-opening of the #MeninGate Memorial yesterday in #Ypres. A powerful moment of #remembrance and renewal, honouring the 54,000+ Commonwealth fallen with no known grave. #LestWeForget 🇬🇧🇧🇪

A huge thank you to the The Grenadier Guards for their participation in the Cenotaph Parade this weekend. Since 1934, this unique tradition has honoured 🇬🇧 - 🇧🇪 ties, with Belgium remaining the only non-Commonwealth nation permitted to march in uniform and bear arms.

Happy National Day, Belgium 🇧🇪! Joyeuse Fête Nationale! Fijne Nationale Feestdag! Einen Schönen Nationalfeiertag!

Ukrainian independence is more than history - it’s a living testament to resilience. In the face of Russia’s illegal invasion, Ukraine stands strong. And we stand side by side. #StandWithUkraine
