I lost a mate to suicide yesterday. Please watch this. Hug your mates. And reach out to those who may need it
Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.   We can all help to prevent suicide by starting the conversation and creating a culture of openness, understanding and support.   Remember, it is not always obvious when somebody needs help.

Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️ If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted. There aren’t many of those heroes left but they have so much to teach us. We’ll be playing music to commemorate the anniversary throughout the day on @ClassicFM #DDay80 #LestWeForget

"Of the 130 lads in my company, only 19 of us made it home. In those desperate battles they gave their lives for the peace we enjoy today." 🕊️ #DDay80

Still don’t know how he remains so (outwardly) calm. Just the most professional controllers you could hope to work with @LHRTower 👍 #OTD – at Stoke Sub Hamdon, England

The @RAFRedArrows were in town, so we thought we’d show them the sights.
