The King and Queen Camilla have paid tribute to the 'determination, unrelenting efforts and selfless loyalty' of the Armed Forces as the Royal Family mark Armed Forces Day
The Queen has praised the nation's servicemen and women as a "source of inspiration, reassurance and pride" in a video message commemorating Armed Forces Day.
Camilla's heartfelt message also highlighted her personal connection with the Armed Forces, referring to herself as the "proud daughter of an Army officer". She wore her Royal Lancers brooch a nod to her late father's regiment and the military unit she serves as Colonel in Chief. The Queen conveyed heartfelt appreciation, saying: "Eight decades later, I know that same spirit and those same qualities remain much in evidence throughout our Armed Forces, as you undertake your duties in the face of a multitude of challenges and dangers."
Major Shand's wartime service was noteworthy; he served with the 12th Lancers during the Second World War, earning the Military Cross twice once in 1940 during the retreat to Dunkirk, and again in 1942 for his North Africa campaign. Despite being wounded and captured in the same region, he survived the ordeal, passing away at the age of 89 in June 2006.
