"A chorus of thunderous silence
Two minutes to remind us
Of those who look fear in the eye
And say no. I choose hope."
At 11am today we will take the time to pause, and pay our respects to our Armed Forces community, past and present. Will you join us? #TwoMinuteSilence

This week we’re sharing tips to help veterans affected by fireworks displays. Today our tip is to use the 5-4-3-2-1 method to help you relax. Simply focus on: 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste.
