"During post-war Britain, populations from the Caribbean, Africa & Asia were called upon to ... help rebuild its public sector". Check out @DockyardChatham's blog exploring the contribution of the #WindrushGeneration to Britain, in particular the newly formed NHS. #WindrushDay
Normally in my role as Lord Lieutenant https://t.co/94L1KTfAec I would be supporting various events this #ArmedForcesWeek. I am very sorry that it is not possible this year but I want to thank the members of the British Armed Forces for all they do to keep us safe.
Wishing His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge a very happy birthday and #FathersDay
Among his military appointments the Duke is Colonel Irish Guards. ☘️ @BritishArmy @KensingtonRoyal
A message for the excellent Essex businesses. @EssexChambers And #essex Institute of Directors @iod

At 10 am today, The Piper to the Sovereign, Pipe Major Richard Grisdale along with Pipers across Scotland, played in memory of the Heroes of St Valéry.
These soldiers remained in France following the successful mass evacuations at Dunkirk at the beginning of June 1940.
It is humbling to realise how very many people of all ages are carers and the time, love and commitment they give to those they care for. We remember them and thank them #CarersWeek2020
Wishing a very happy Happy Birthday to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.
We need all the support we can muster to make our #Museum the success it is. Our #Patrons (https://t.co/DhzbSDKVV3) are advocates and ambassadors for us, spreading the word, and we're hugely grateful to @Essex_LL , @sauldavid66 , @thehistoryguy and Lord Petre! @HeritageFundEoE
At the end of #VolunteersWeek an inspiring message from HM The Queen and A good moment to consider putting forward a volunteer group for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service @QueensAwardVS: A very special award for outstanding organisations.
Sadly not this year, but normally at this time the Cinque Port Liberty of @Brightlingsea #essex holds a procession followed by a blessing of the waters by the Bishop of Colchester from a fishing smack. Very much look forward to it next year.
