Was only talking about this the other day. An amazing and much missed spectacle which was always one of the highlights of the Royal Tournament.
Watch and enjoy. 🇬🇧

🚨 SAD: PENSION FIRM BLOCKS TERMINALLY ILL FALKLANDS VETERAN FROM HIS OWN 100,000 POUNDS!
Want to hear how disgusting this system is?
Andrew Rossiter is a Royal Navy Falklands War veteran who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and given just months to live.
A corporate pension firm is refusing to hand over his own 104,000 pounds retirement fund, making a dying hero jump through endless bureaucratic hoops!
As Andrew rightly said, it feels like they are dragging it out hoping he dies so they never have to pay out.
This brave veteran served his country, saved every penny, and now needs our help to get what he earned.
We need to make so much noise that EQ Retirement Solutions has zero choice but to pay him today!
RT and SHARE this everywhere to back this war hero and force them to give Andrew his money NOW! 🇬🇧🔥

Clint Eastwood, 94-year-old vegan actor legend, formulated one of the most important lessons of his life so far for the young generation:
"Don't look for luxury in watches or bracelets, don't look for luxury in villas or sailboats!
Luxury is laughter and friends, luxury is rain on your face, luxury is hugs and kisses.
Don't look for luxury in shops, don't look for it in gifts, don't look for it in parties, don't look for it in events!
Luxury is being loved by people, luxury is being respected, luxury is having your parents alive, luxury is being able to play with your grandchildren. Luxury is what money can't buy."

"This is Ted he is a 96 year old WW2 veteran. He came into my pub today for his lunch. I couldn't help but notice his medals I just had to go and ask him about his life and say thank you for his service to our country. He became really overwhelmed and cried. He said 'thank you young man no one cares about what I have to say anymore.'
I told him that I'm sure there are so many people that do. Can we all please like and share this post and show him just how many of do care about our veterans and prove to Ted he's not forgotten. I will show him this post when he comes back for his dinner next week."
