October 7. The pain remains, as vivid as it was a year ago. The pain of the Israeli people. Ours. The pain of wounded humanity. We do not forget the victims, the hostages, or the families with broken hearts from absence or waiting. I send them our fraternal thoughts.

It’s 80 years since British and allied troops launched an ambitious operation to bring about the end of the Second World War. Their bid to liberate the Netherlands and force a new route into Nazi Germany serves as a lasting reminder of the courage of the Greatest Generation.

Good to speak to @MarosSefcovic and discuss the importance of the unique partnership between the UK and EU. We agreed to meet soon to discuss how we can strengthen co-operation and reset the relationship.

60 years ago, Walter Cronkite of @CBSNews interviewed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander for Operation Overlord: “These people gave us a chance and they bought time for us so that we can do better than we have before.” #DDay80

Today we remember those who fought and fell 80 years ago on #DDay, 6 June 1944. Their selfless heroism stands as a shining example to us all. They served and sacrificed so that we could live in freedom. We will remember them. #DDay80

Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️ If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted. There aren’t many of those heroes left…
