It was a pleasure to call in to the Remembrance Vintage Tea in Portballintrae on Saturday and see such a fantastic community effort.

The crafted pieces on display were absolutely stunning, with so much time, care and talent clearly going into every item. It was lovely to see the creativity and hard work that had gone into bringing everything together.

The event also raised a fantastic £908.33, to be shared equally between the Bushmills Through The Wars Exhibition and Castlecatt Community Association.

A big thank you to the Thursday Crafters’ Club, Castlecatt Community Association and everyone who contributed through baking, crafting, helping out and supporting the event.

A wonderful example of local talent and community spirit. 👏🌺

I was honoured to lay a wreath at today’s Remembrance Service in Dervock.

A moment to pause, reflect and pay our respects to the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom, and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make today’s service possible.

Lest We Forget. 🌺

Today I’ll be laying a wreath in Dervock as we come together to remember and honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

It’s important that we continue to remember their courage, sacrifice and the freedoms we enjoy today.

We will remember them. 🌺

Some friendships are forged in politics, but the strongest ones go far beyond it.

Carla Lockhart MP and I cut our teeth in politics together 15 years ago. From early election campaigns to the many highs and lows along the way, we have built a friendship that means a great deal to me.

I am deeply saddened by her decision to leave the DUP. Her ability, determination and dedication have always been a source of inspiration to me.

While our political paths may have temporarily taken different directions, our friendship and shared commitment to unionism remain as strong as ever.

Unionism is bigger than any one party or individual. Our shared future matters far more than the differences that may divide us today. I know the day will come when Carla and I are working side by side again, united in our determination to build a stronger future for the Union.

Friends before, friends now and friends always.

Great to call in to Creative Gardens with my comrades Andy Harney, Alison Hutton and Lesley Heaney, where they’re raising money for the Bushmills Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

A big thank you to everyone at Creative Gardens for their support and generosity, and to everyone helping raise funds for our veterans and their families. 🇬🇧
