HM The Queen, accompanied by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, unveiled the Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial in Victoria Embankment Gardens, London.

 

The new Memorial recognises the contributions of the UK Armed Forces and all UK citizens who deployed in the Gulf region, Iraq and Afghanistan from 1990-2015, and those who supported them back home.

 

At 1100 am, a Service of Dedication was conducted from a specially constructed Drumhead on Horse Guards Parade with The Queen, Prime Minister Theresa May and the Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, in attendance. They were joined by His Royal Highnesses The Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Henry of Wales and other Members of the Royal Family. Readings were given by Prince Henry and a Ministry of Defence Civil Servant Victoria Whittaker who deployed to Afghanistan in 2014.

I was at the Drumhead Service yesterday, and was invited to meet the Prime Minister afterwards; I was also introduced to the Earl of Wessex.

 

The service was very moving, and invoked some mixed memories - the volume of trauma I saw, the effect of multiple tours on people, but also of the great people I worked with. There was a reception afterwards with most of the Royal Family spending time talking to guests in a relaxed atmosphere.

 

Not even the presence of Blair and Corbyn could spoil it.

What drivel; plays to a certain audience of frothing lefties, I suppose, reading it whilst they eat their kale and quinoa.

 

Still, their desired end result has happened; Afghanistan is returning to the middle ages. Personally I don't care much for pre-pubertal girls being married off to men in their forties; for women being considered of less value than goats; for boys routinely sexually abused by older men; for children hideously burned because at the age of three because it's their job to fill the oil lamps; for children denied education, an entire population denied decent medical care and a generation poisoned by an evil interpretation of one of the world's great religions. But no doubt in the vibrant, multicultural world of metropolitan socialists who've never been to these places, it's just the ticket.
