Vicky makes a serious difference in all her work - Gulrukhsor, now a UK charity - is a huge achievement

Our thoughts are with all those injured and killed in the terrible tragedy in Crans-Montana, and we pay tribute to the Swiss emergency services who are leading the response. We will continue to monitor the situation, and our consular staff stand ready to support any British nationals who may be affected.

Heute vor 10 Jahren hielt ich den Moment fest, als Hunderte Saatkrähen in die Stadt #Dresden einflogen, so wie sie es besonders im Winterhalbjahr täglich tun um in der wärmeren Stadt zu nächtigen

Strongly recommend the @DulwichGallery show: Anna Ancher: Painting Light. She lived and painted all her life on the N tip of Denmark at Skagen. But she also visited Paris, mingled with the impressionists and developed her own beautiful way of capturing the effects of light.

This was extraordinarily moving
On the final day of the State Visit, The Federal President and Ms. Büdenbender, alongside The Duke of Kent, laid a wreath in the ruins of the old cathedral. Coventry was twinned with Kiel and Dresden in Germany over their shared experience of bombardment during the Second World War. For decades, The Duke of Kent has played an active role in fostering British-German reconciliation. The Duke has served as Royal Patron of the Dresden Trust since its creation in 1993 and of the British German Association since 1994.
