To the firefighters, emergency responders and volunteers battling wildfires across the UK, thank you.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected, particularly those who have lost their homes, and with those working tirelessly to protect communities, homes and the countryside.

This video captures our event perfectly.
What a wonderful evening we had being "Together at Christmas".
Thank you all
“Love at this time of year means you take a profound interest in other people.”
Communities from across the UK have joined Together at Christmas in local carol services, supported by The Royal Foundation, to celebrate love, in all its forms.
Each year, these services spread the Together at Christmas spirit across the UK, honouring local champions and celebrating the bonds, kindness, and love that bring communities together.
