What a well executed procession our Armed Forces displayed today.
Thoughts and prayers to King Charles III and all the Royal family.
We will remember her.

The National Moment of Reflection will take place at 8pm on Sunday night to mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and reflect on her life and legacy.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

The Armed Forces Community Hub in Wesley St, Southport will be open on Monday 19th September from 10:00am to show the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. The hub will be a place to come and respectfully watch the funeral with other members of our community, rather than being alone on such a historical occasion.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Hub.

Queen Elizabeth II had a long and close relationship with the Armed Forces, both in the United Kingdom and in the Commonwealth.

As Head of the Armed Forces, the Queen was devoted to honouring the service and sacrifice of the entire Armed Forces community and leading the nation in moments of Remembrance each year. She became the first female member of the Royal Family to serve as a full-time active member of the Armed Forces in 1945 when she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).

Her Majesty held many honorary ranks and military appointments in the UK and Commonwealth Armed Services and much of her working life was taken up with visits to military bases and ships in the UK and overseas, meeting serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.

In 2009 she introduced the Elizabeth Cross, an award giving special recognition to the families of those who had died on military operations, or as a result of terrorism since 1948.

Her Majesty has been an inspiration to everyone in the Armed Forces community, and her dedication to the Armed Forces will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Such a lovely photo of the Princess Royal and the Queen.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCESS ROYAL

“I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest Mother’s life. It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys. Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting.

We will all share unique memories. I offer my thanks to each and every one who share our sense of loss.

We may have been reminded how much of her presence and contribution to our national identity we took for granted. I am also so grateful for the support and understanding offered to my dear brother Charles as he accepts the added responsibilities of The Monarch.

To my mother, The Queen, thank you.”

Happy 100th birthday to Len, what a surprise ☺️

'Unbroken Heroes’

Today is the 76th anniversary of VJ Day ~
We remember those who heroically made the ultimate sacrifice whilst bravely serving in the Far East. We remember the many Allied Prisoners of War who suffered heinously, and we remember those who eventually returned home, barely recognisable to their loved ones; never to be the same souls who left our shores. Lest We Forget.
