What a great sum of money raised for an even better cause. So good to see events of this nature become part of our DNA again after being without them for so long.

This morning, I laid a wreath on behalf of the College at the spectacular Harrogate Cenotaph. I did so beside @MayorHarrogate and representatives from Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. Thank you to JS Mulcahy-James who wrote the dedication.

On Armistice Day, we remember the Corps' fallen who have given their lives on operations since 1993.

We will remember them.

While many of us dream of a life, Keva Hackshaw left his island home for adventure and purpose.

He joined the Army, beginning his journey to being the first late-entry commissioned St Vincentian.
