But I have no doubt that, through working together, our shared values will prevail, precisely because the values and freedoms we espouse are decent and principled. They are ones that people everywhere deserve.

Year 9 is Willow, but unless you plan on giving a present for the garden then linen or lace are good ideas. Gary Doyle, Chairman of the Battle of the Atlantic Memorial Trust–and a former senior naval officer–is delighted at how the weekend has panned out. What makes the evacuation of Dunkirk a unique, heroic feat is the amount of lives that were saved during those nine frantic days.

Can I begin by saying a big ‘thank you’ to Canning House – particularly to Jeremy Browne and his team – for bringing us together this evening. And, on this 80th anniversary celebration, I know that everyone will want to join me in saying ‘well done’. In addition services – supported by members of today’s Armed Forces – will take place at Bayeux Cathedral and the nearby Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, last resting place of more than 4,000 UK/Commonwealth personnel. And for those unable to make the pilgrimage to Normandy, events will also be hosted in England; details will be announced in the new year. A forest of flags and standards from veterans groups–numbers bolstered by the annual gathering of the Royal Naval Association in the city–rose above spectators who saw, first, the Battle of Britain’s Memorial Flight make its third appearance of the weekend, then the Swordfish performing its first of two displays of the final day. The whole event has been great - a brilliant opportunity to come onboard. We’ve found it really interesting,” said Caroline.

Three days of Battle of the Atlantic commemorations have ended in Liverpool with organisers and public equally delighted by the maritime spectacle.Helped by the British Council, we have also been busy on the education front. Learning English is not just a rich source of goodwill, it opens doors for millions to career opportunities in science and technology. This is really important to me as we can leave our mark in history just as my grandfather did, not only carrying out the tradition of the Royal Navy, but also the family tradition which binds us to the Service and binds us to the country, and why we remain the Senior Service to this day.”

Relatives and carers of Normandy veterans are encouraged to help veterans to register their interest. Operation Dynamo was not planned. For something of its scale, a planned operation would normally take months. It was a makeshift, desperate piece of improvisation guided by the dedicated team at Dover Castle. After eight decades of marriage, both husband and wife will be over or near 100 years old so perhaps the most cherished present may simply be your time. To that end, make sure to clear your schedule and spend the day with them. 80th Anniversary Celebration Ideas Thank you, Jeremy. It is my very great honour to be here tonight as you celebrate and reflect on the remarkable work of Canning House and everything it has achieved over the last 80 years and as you, and we, look to the future.

Every one of you will, I’m sure, have spent time thinking and talking about the instability and difficulties we are facing today in the international arena. Whatever the capacity we are here in this evening, we will share the sense that the world is ever more connected, that what is happening far away is having direct consequences for us, our families, our businesses. The need for international partners to work together is as great as it has ever been. What do you think, should we use Palladium as the symbol for the 80th Anniversary?

Our ambition needs to be propelled by a shared desire to act, help build capacity and genuinely make a difference. Create a family tree for the pair that may be exhibited for everyone to see. Begin with paper and a poster board, choose a broken branch of oak as the foundation (or trunk) of the tree, then add the names of the couple’s parents as a beginning point. From there, continue extending upwards and outwards by adding all relatives and their dates of birth and death (if appropriate).
