RT for chance to win a signed copy of BLITZ - out in May. For too long ‘The Blitz’ has been framed as a few desperate months in 1940/41 mainly affecting London. But attacks were far more widespread, far more devastating, & for most of the war. The BLITZ story is now told afresh:

#1000RED...... Today I have ran 1000 consecutive days. And if it wasn't for a short interlude recovering from a broken neck it would be around 2500days! Short run today #MentalResilience

Well worth spending some time looking around this. I lost a few hours walking around the real exhibition on a few occasions when it was at the IWM. Shame it is no longer there. But pleased to see this website up and running.. well done @LordAshcroft for keeping the stories alive.

The decision by @I_W_M to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery was truly heartbreaking, but the stories of bravery told there must live on. I am delighted to announce the launch of a new virtual tour so you can see the Gallery for yourself 👇👇👇 👀 lordashcroftmedalcollection.…

Veterans are being left without a clear route into civilian care and support, according to a report by the Armed Forces charity @HelpforHeroes. Barrie Griffiths served in the Royal Air Force for more than 30 years, but when he was discharged after suffering a spinal injury, he said he felt 'thrown to the wolves' with 'no guidance' on how to manage civilian life. Barrie talks to @susannareid100 and Richard about his experience.

Replying to @BootneckStuff
Tragic. Choking, the silent killer. If ever you think someone is choking then help them - JDI (Just Do It). I saved my wife's life - the most terrifying few moments of my own life - six years ago. Same as CPR, you can't hurt them, but you might save them. Remember, JDI!
