The last RAF 60 Seconds of 2023 is here, and it’s a bumper festive edition, including a Christmas message from ACM Sir Rich Knighton 🎊.

60 Seconds will return in 2024 – but for now, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅🎄.

Our Armed Forces risk everything to protect our way of life. But they won't tell you about the sacrifice and bravery required.

Your poppy shows you care and helps us continue our vital work.

This year, support the Royal British Legion’s #PoppyAppeal

For the last 2 months I've been away on an expedition climbing Broad Peak (8047m).

On 19 July, we tragically lost one of our team - Gordo. I couldn't have asked for a better rope/tent buddy, mountain mentor and friend.
