Two renowned military bands, one unforgettable evening of music. The Harp & Thistle Concert saw the Band of the Royal Irish Regiment join forces with the Royal Marines Band Scotland for a fantastic evening of music, showcasing the skill and commitment of military musicians.

Whether performing on parade, supporting state and ceremonial events, or engaging with communities across the nation, military musicians are ambassadors for the Armed Forces and an important part of military life.

Take a look at some of the highlights from a truly memorable event.

Building bridges isn’t just a saying.

Soldiers from 591 Squadron, 71 Engineer Regiment have been refining their bridge-building skills, helping ensure troops and vehicles can keep moving when obstacles stand in the way.
Fun fact: A Bailey Bridge can be built using a giant kit of interchangeable parts, making it the engineering world’s answer to Lego.

A Royal Gun Salute echoed across Hillsborough Castle today as soldiers from 206 (Ulster) Battery, 105 Regiment Royal Artillery, and Officer Cadets from Queen’s University Officer Training Corps marked four years since His Majesty King Charles III’s Accession to the Throne.

Fired from the castle grounds, the salute was a proud display of military precision and an enduring tradition marking a significant royal anniversary.

Proud to see our RAF colleagues mark a special milestone. Air Cadets from across Northern Ireland joined The Princess Royal in County Fermanagh to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Air Training Corps.

Her Royal Highness paid her respects at Commonwealth war graves in Irvinestown, where 86 airmen who died during the Second World War are laid to rest, before visiting Castle Archdale, the former RAF flying boat station central to the Battle of the Atlantic.
The visit closed with a flypast from a Royal Air Force Poseidon aircraft and the planting of a yew tree, marking 85 years of the Air Training Corps and the enduring ties between the RAF and County Fermanagh.

Proud to see our RAF colleagues, and the next generation of Air Cadets, honoured in this way.

On this day in 1916, the 36th (Ulster) Division went over the top at the Somme as part of one of the First World War’s largest offensives, displaying extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable conditions.

In the opening days of the battle, thousands of young men lost their lives. Their fellow Irishmen of the 16th (Irish) Division later joined the fighting in September, also suffering thousands of casualties.

Today, we remember all those who fought and fell at the Somme and honour the sacrifice of every man who served alongside them.
Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
