🐕 The @bravehound_uk #ArmedForcesDay Dog Show on Saturday was a great showcase of the special bond between people and their canine companions, especially support dogs.

It was great to meet some of them, as well as catching up with Colin from @scotvetres, with Cally. Delighted that Minto was placed in the puppy class!

🌈 As #PrideMonth ends, it’s vital to recognise the work still needed for all veterans to feel valued and supported.

#LGBT+ veterans harmed by the ban can apply for financial redress, with support available from @fightingwithpride and @royalbritishlegion.

Read my latest blog for more information about the restorative measures in place, and why support to apply is encouraged - use the news and blogs link in my bio 🔗

A fantastic atmosphere celebrating #ArmedForcesDay in Edinburgh on Saturday. Proud to join the parade with members of the Association of Wrens and the @rnassociation, followed by meeting organisations at the event including the @forcesemploymentcharity and @commonwealthwargraves.

On #ArmedForcesDay we honour the dedication of the UK’s regulars, reserves and veterans - whose service has helped protect our freedoms.

We also salute families, partners and the bereaved, whose strength and sacrifice are at the heart of our community.
