The remarkable Ross Edgley, I’m proud to call him a friend and sure whatever he sets his mind to he will achieve, no matter how many times he gets knocked down. Never beaten.

Great to see Royal Marines from Plymouth’s 42 Commando Royal Marines trained in HMNB Devonport active on HMS Trent deployed around the world. Demonstrates how Plymouth city Plymouth City Council is a fundamental part of the Royal Navy and underpins the delivery of UK maritime strategy.
