Just a moment to pay respect to the Leeds fans yesterday who went to Brentford full of loyal hope & support. This week has see. too many pitch invasions. After a brilliant result the Leeds fans celebrated - by staying in their allocated section.

37 years ago today I swore my Oath of Allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs & successors, according to law. So help me God.
I did so aged 16 in Bath with my great friend Scrumpy Morris.
I’ve held it very dear & I’d do it all again 🔵🟡🔴🙏

There may be a young girl or boy out there tonight who is inspired tomorrow. From humble beginnings they may get a sense of service and pride that they may have missed elsewhere. That’s why days like these matter…it has to begin somewhere.

1st day I’m adult life in 1UK Civ Div has been special. 👌, there’s been a change in Govt, but in contrast to my first day in the Army, not one person has shouted at me, I had longer than 2 mins for lunch, I wasn’t overloaded with kit, & I’ve walked at a leisurely pace everywhere
37 years served today: wonderful messages from those I joined with & served with since. It’s a pretty big milestone & all the more meaningful given recent events. 6 mths today it will be over: I will - for the 1st time in my adult life - not be a soldier.

The buzz of excitement, the smell of fried onions. The cry of a Programme seller, the halo of the floodlights. Cold crisp air, the warmth of a scarf. This might not be Champions League: but this is what Tuesday night football feels like.

It might well be that some of us commit to the club knowing we won’t make 12 games…..when you say ‘too much’, you’re right. But it’s not about the ‘free games’.
Show me you know nothing about lower league football, loyalty, and commitment, without telling me you know nothing.
My goodness what a pleasure it has been to serve you. You asked for Loyalty, Courage and good Conduct: I willingly gave it because of your example. 13030 days and I now give my service to your son, our King.
