A great morning at Hattersley Projects in Tameside at their Halloween event. Real community spirit (pardon the pun) and lots going on.

A fantastic evening as High Sheriff. I have had the pleasure of working with a great team - Greater Manchester Police Band Eamonn O'Neal and Tameside Council to stage a concert in aid of Willow Wood Hospice and Alzheimer's Society in Stalybridge. What a great evening it was.

The Queen joined leaders from the civil society and charity sector attending the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Summit, reflecting Her Majesty’s longstanding commitment to tackling the issue.
The summit aims to bring together organisations working to address gender-based violence to inspire change at a national and local level.
🎤 Her Majesty listened to speeches by Jess Phillips MP, on the target to halve violence against women and girls on a national level, followed by Dame Nicole Jacobs, on best practices to prevent and respond to Domestic Abuse.

An extremely interesting morning as High Sheriff visiting Mustard Tree who work to combat poverty and end homelessness. I have driven past their centre so many times and never imagined just what amazing work was going on inside.

Sixty years on, we remember the 144 people who lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster.
Today, The King and The Queen, with The Prince of Wales, spent time at the Aberfan Memorial Garden and the Aberfan and Merthyr Vale Community Centre to honour their memory.
The Aberfan Memorial Garden stands on the site of Pantglas School, where 109 children and 5 teachers died when the coal tip collapsed onto the village.
Watch His Majesty’s speech in full on our YouTube channel (link in bio).

As High Sheriff tonight it was a pleasure to attend the Czech National Day celebrations at the historic Chetham’s School. I joined the Lord-Lieutenant, the Mayor of Tameside and the Deputy Mayor of Stockport along with many Consul Generals. The music and singing was wonderful.
