Must say, I'm not a huge fan of the archaic ceremonial stuff but these troopers do a bloody good job for the tourist industry and public relations. Gently and safely moving the horse in for a better shot. What a beautiful moment.

This September, i complete the second of my WWII commemorative Parachute jumps.  Tuesday 17th September marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem - The largest ever airborne operation.  On Friday 20th September, as part of the Pathfinder Intl Parachute group, I'll be jumping into Holland to mark this solemn occasion. All donations, for this jump, will go to Essex based mental health charity @TrustLinksLtd to support the crucial work that they do.  If you like the idea of seeing me jump out of a perfectly working plane......then please use the sponsorship link below: gofundme.com/f/bayos-arnhem-… In appreciation, Bayo🙏🏿

In early February, one of my best mates passed away unexpectedly. In honour of Ed, his friends and family are coming together for a game of football at Roots Hall to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Any support is more than appreciated ⬇️ tinyurl.com/3xabht7b

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS

Robert Plant is trending so lets just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Led Zeppelin had a fireplace on their airplane.

Good to see some positive reports about a referee’s performance! Kirsty Dowle applauded off the pitch at Southend - blimey! 👏🏼 👏🏼
Never heard a referee clapped off the pitch before but that's what happened at Roots Hall tonight as Kirsty Dowle walked back towards the tunnel after the final whistle.

Hey everyone, we are aware of a delay due to an incident on the A12 unrelated to the Motorcycle Run - the end of the run will be about an hour late. Thank you @EPRoadsPolicing #MCR2023
