For the first time in history, The King, as Sovereign and Captain General of the @RoyalMarines, has presented new Colours to 40, 42, 43 and 45 Commando Royal Marines at Windsor Castle. It is the first time that four Commando units have received new Colours concurrently. Addressing troops on parade and their guests, His Majesty said: “It is now twenty-five years since my father, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, presented new Colours to the Royal Marines, and so it gives me immense pride and pleasure to be able to do so once again today.”

“Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter. The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others.” In this year’s Christmas Broadcast or ‘King’s Speech’, His Majesty reflects on the theme of the journey, in religious life and more broadly. You can now watch in full on: - The Royal Family Channel on YouTube. - @BBCNews, @ITV and @SkyUK in the UK. - If you live outside the UK, check your national broadcaster’s schedule.

FADM Chester Nimitz believed the U.S was fortunate that the attack on Pearl Harbor came as a surprise. Had the U.S. known of the approaching Japanese fleet, the American fleet would have been sent to intercept it and then been entirely lost to a superior force. #PearlHarborDay

This morning I gave a call to action at my International Sea Power Conference. I'm really looking forward to discussing how we are going to sustain our warfighting advantage, building on the blocks that we have already put in place. It's going to be a good day. #ISPC2025

It's amazing that the Royal Navy had two purpose-built engineering colleges and for all that's left they might never have existed.
