Today we celebrate 75 years of unity and progress in our #Commonwealth family.

From 8 nations to 56, the Commonwealth now spans five continents and represents a third of humanity.

Despite global challenges, we've proven we're stronger together.

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

An extra treat from Australian High Commission, Cyprus to mark #AnzacDay ! I didn’t partake in the gunfire tea - it’s going to be a long day, and I suspect the ‘courage’ the tea provides will be short lived! But the Anzac biscuits were very good

1/3 This morning, a commemorative dawn service to mark #AnzacDay was held inside Wayne's Keep Cemetery in the United Nations #bufferzone in Nicosia.

A very poignant memorial service for #AnzacDay2024 , with thanks to Australian High Commission, Cyprus & UN Cyprus. A special moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and all those affected by war & conflict.

… and in the morning, we will remember them.
