On the 20th anniversary of 7/7 we remember all those who cruelly lost their lives,  were injured, the families of those affected, and pay tribute to the courage and bravery shown by the London transport staff, firefighters, police officers, and all emergency responders that day.

Delighted to be in Sheffield with HRH Prince William @KensingtonRoyal and @StevenBartlett today to celebrate the second anniversary of the Royal Foundation’s Homewards Project ending homelessness forever one family at a time.

Honouring all those who served in the armed forces and at home to keep Britain and Europe free during World War II. Their sacrifice was awe-inspiring, the courage remarkable and it is right that we never forget. #VE80
