Please everyone help. I am trying to do a Christmas miracle and make someone happy. Yesterday (21/12/25) in @Bullring we found this lost platinum wedding band. It is name and date engraved, and has more detail. I want to reunite it with its rightful owner. Retweets might help.

This week's quote reminds us that it is never too late to change direction, set new goals, or begin again. Step into the new year with purpose. 🚀

The dedication and sacrifices made by those in the military deserve respect and gratitude.
The challenges we face some can only imagine.
If you can support our armed forces, veterans in any way the please so do.
It was a pleasure brothers and sisters. 🫡

35 years ago this month, the last ep of #Blackadder Goes Forth screened. Most of us treasure the series as 3 unmatched comedy hours. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene.

Today marks 19 years since the horrific 7/7 terror attacks where 52 people lost their lives and many more were injured.
Today we remember them, their families and the efforts of our emergency services.
We will always stand united against those who attempt to divide us.

Update regarding PD Scar who was part of the tragic search for Dr. Mosley, and was seen working in extreme heat without boots.
We have some fabulous news, but first a bit of a back story.
Before we continue - we have to understand that different countries have different ways of doing things, and we must respect that. It is not our place to comment. So let’s stay positive and kind. Please.
PD Scar works for the Greek police as a GP dog who is also trained to search for people. He is an amazing dog and his handler reveres and adores him.
Equipment can be hard to come by and we have discovered that boots are not provided as part of standard equipment, again - not for us to judge.
We have discovered that Scar works alongside 13 other police dogs in the same position. So, we got to work and made contact with the company who supplies protective equipment for dogs.
We are absolutely delighted to let you know that @RuffwearUK have immediately agreed to help.
We are in the process of getting a list of breeds, paw measurements, and chest sizes as once these have been passed on, each dog will now be provided with boots and a cooling coat as a gift from this amazing company.
We are sure you will agree this is an incredibly kind thing to do, and we are beyond grateful to them for their extraordinary generosity.
The money you have kindly sent us in Scars name will be used to buy a large box of toys and extra treats for Scar and his friends, we hope that is acceptable to you all, as your kindness has been the catalyst in all this.
Thank you to @RuffwearUK for leaping forward and helping us to help others. What a fantastic thing to do and shows the importance of working together.
We’ll keep you updated, but we think that out of the dreadful tragedy that has unfolded in Greece, something really good has happened, and for that, thank you.
A huge thank you also to @insaf_abbas who reported initially on PD Scar and galvanised us all into action.

On D-Day, my father was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. My mother was in slave labour for the SS.
Thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of all who fought in Normandy, they were liberated a year later and could make a life in Britain. Always grateful, never forget.

80 years since D-Day.
80 years since the largest seaborne invasion in history.
80 years since the heroic efforts of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny.
80 years of peace in Western Europe since.
Today we say thank you.

On #DDay, 90% of the soldiers on the first boats didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18. Some never fell in love, or had the opportunity to have children. They never voted, or owned a home, they never saw parents again.
Think about that.
They paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
We will remember them. #lestweforget2024

We are shocked and saddened by the terrible events in Sydney earlier today. Our thoughts are with all those affected, including the loved ones of those lost and the heroic emergency responders who risked their own lives to save others. W & C

Last week, the UN Manual on Investigative interviewing was published which endorses the Méndez Principles and "spells out the fundamental principles, concepts, and approach to non-coercive interviewing".
An essential read for all interested stakeholders:

Thinking of everyone involved in the incident in Clapham tonight where members of the public and police officers have been attacked with a corrosive substance. 😞
Wishing everyone a full and speedy recovery.
Thank you to everyone who responded and helped those in need. 🚑💯🚨

We’re all a bit jaded at the moment.
I’ve heard colleagues seriously discuss leaving The Job more times than I can count of late. 🫤
Yet I see and hear courageous and incredible work everyday. 💯
If no one else tells you, I’m glad you’re still here. Thank you. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
