It will be great to have The Royal Irish Regiment #IRISHRANGERS back in Robert Fernsby. Tough soldiers and well suited to Air Manoeuvre ops. Perfect partners to 2 PARA and 3 PARA. #FaughaBallagh #AdUnumOmnes #UtrinqueParatus #EveryManAnEmperor

The Colonel-in-Chief sums it up perfectly: the UK “is more fortunate than it can know in having such dedicated and courageous people….ready to step forward at such a crucial time of need…I could not be more proud of you.” #EveryManAnEmperor #ReadyForAnything TheParachuteRegiment

A spectacular evening at Carrickfergus Castle, as the Massed Bands of the Irish Regiments put on a superb display of military music. This was their first performance together in Northern Ireland since 1986. #IRISHRANGER Mid and East Antrim Borough Council

Proud to have a connection as family friend with this great man & D-Day hero, Tony Huntbach, who has sadly passed aged 97. His funeral, with forces & military standard bearers present, will take place near Blackpool on Monday. Tony landed on Juno Beach on 6th June 1944. #Bravest
