Today we are marking 81 years since Victory over Japan Day and the end of the Second World War. We remember all those who served in the Far East.

We honour the courage, resilience and sacrifice of that generation.

Yesterday, our Chair of Civil Military Relations, I had the privilege of attending the Basingstoke Veterans Community Garden Party, kindly hosted by Care UK.

A simple yet powerful idea, made even better by the beautiful Mauritius-style sunshine.

🇬🇧🇯🇲Sir Gilbert Constantine Clarke passed away on 23 May 2026 at the age of 100, leaving behind a legacy that paved the way for generations of Commonwealth service in the British Armed Forces.

Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Gilbert lied about his age to join the Royal Air Force as a mechanic in 1943 at just 16—responding to newspaper reports of ships being sighted in the Caribbean and feeling the war might soon affect his home. He arrived in Britain on a troop ship in 1944, served as a radar and electrical mechanic, and was one of the first to witness the D-Day fleet overhead.

After the war, he made Britain his home, raised a large family, and, for decades, championed the contributions of Caribbean and Commonwealth veterans. In 2025, at 100, he received letters of commendation from King Charles III and French President Emmanuel Macron.

His life reminds us that leadership is not about rank, but about duty, courage, and the willingness to act when others are afraid.

RIP Sir Gilbert. Thank you for your service. Read more here:

As the 2025 Remembrance Day approaches, we solemnly honour and never forget:

▪︎The brave souls from Britain and the Commonwealth who made the ultimate sacrifice in the World Wars — their courage shaped history.

▪︎The fallen heroes from conflicts before and after, from the struggles that preceded World War II to those in Iraq where 149 British soldiers gave their lives, and Afghanistan with 457 sacrifices — their valour lives on.

▪︎The families, friends, and veterans left to carry the burden and bear the scars of these conflicts — their strength and resilience inspire us.

We pledge to remember them with unwavering respect and eternal gratitude.

We will remember them. 🙏🏼
