Over the coming days, the Airborne brotherhood will come together to remember the sacrifices made during OP MARKET GARDEN, 80 years on. The fighting was brutal and saw lightly armed Airborne troops going up against German armour. Always outnumbered but never vanquished.

Thank you to our comms team👏👏 doing a great job sharing insights into 50 years of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. Yesterday was the history of our ‘crest’…today it’s fire engines 🚒 through the years..! @manchesterfire
Over our 50 years it's fair to say our engines have come a long way 🚒 This year we invested £3.5m into 12 new engines that are more energy efficient and have state-of-the-art technology so crews can access real time information. Which engines over the years do you remember?

Ok, this is tough but here goes. I was homeless for around 2 years when I was 15. I've spent years hiding it, but I've written about it because I want to tell others in that place that your start in life doesn’t determine where you end up, only where you start #theheatofthemoment
