The crew of @HMSDiamond are continuing to save innocent lives in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Yesterday Diamond became the first Royal Navy ship to shoot down a missile since 1991 - when they destroyed a Houthi missile targeting merchant vessels.

On this day in 1915, more than 70,000 allied troops landed at Gallipoli.

20,000 of them were Australian and New Zealander soldiers.

As we mark #AnzacDay , we show gratitude for their sacrifice and the role they played in the First World War.

We will remember them.

Today’s #AnzacDay commemorations continued with a service at the Cenotaph.

Wreaths were laid in tribute by the Defence Minister Andrew Murrison and Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton.

Today, the UK conducted its 9th airdrop of humanitarian aid for Gaza.

The Royal Air Force delivered more than 11 tonnes of life-saving supplies.

Today’s #AnzacDay commemorations began with a Dawn Service at Hyde Park Corner.

The Duke of Edinburgh and Major General Richard Clements laid wreaths in tribute to all the Australian and New Zealander soldiers who lost their lives in combat.

When I set out my priorities as Defence Secretary I declared the era of the peace dividend over.

Since then Rishi Sunak and I have kept that promise with new funding that rises to the moment - empowering our Armed Forces to deter our enemies, lead our allies & defend our nation.

British Army 🇬🇧 and @RAF helicopters set off together from the UK today for Finland and Estonia where they will contribute to NATO’s largest exercise since the end of the Cold War – Steadfast Defender 24.

The costs of war would be unimaginable - which is why we must do more to deter Britain’s enemies.

Our £75bn uplift will prove that Britain is more serious about our defence than at any point since the Cold War.

Threats to global peace are growing. Our Armed Forces must be able to fight and win against any enemy.

That’s why we’ve increased defence spending by an unprecedented £75bn over the next 6 years.
