STAND WITH SIMON. TAKE THE PLEDGE 🇬🇧
Simon Weston CBE was serving with the Welsh Guards aboard RFA Sir Galahad when it was bombed during the Falklands War. He rebuilt his life after suffering severe burns.
Today, as a Veterans’ Foundation Ambassador, he’s asking the public to stand with those who served.
Will you add your voice to Britain’s Biggest Thank You? Sign the Armed Forces Pledge and show veterans, serving personnel and their families that they have your support.

A poem written by D-Day veteran Mervyn Kersh.❤️
Mervyn was a private who helped to ensure that the British Army had enough vehicles to win the battle for Normandy and continue into France.
He landed on Gold beach three days after D-day and served with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. His job was to ensure his team always had 1000 vehicles roadworthy and ready to go - replacing those lost in action or in accidents.
We thank you for your service, Sir. 🇬🇧

The Princess Royal marked the 85th anniversary of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets during a visit to Irvinestown, Northern Ireland.
Her Royal Highness met RAF personnel, cadets and local community groups before paying her respects at the graves of Second World War aircrew who died in crashes across Northern Ireland.
Five cadets shared the stories behind the unnamed graves, followed by a prayer and bagpipe tribute.
Princess Anne later met organisations supporting the town’s social and economic development and received gifts celebrating Irvinestown’s history and local community.

Falklands veteran Simon Weston might now be recognised for his remarkable courage and resilience, but his story could have been very different.
In this short film he discusses the dark days after he was first injured, from the first time he looked in the mirror to his battles with alcohol.
