It is Armed Forces Day tomorrow, the culmination of a week of celebrations. During my visit to HMNB Clyde, I was asked what Armed Forces Day means to me. #HMNBClyde @ArmedForcesDay @RNinScotland @SDA_mod

81 years ago today, thousands of troops landed in France in the largest amphibious assault in history. I pause to honour all who enabled that maritime operation. Then as now, the Royal Navy stood strong - thank you to all who still do today, serving at home and around the world.
