'˜I have served in various places across the world and I have lost a lot of friends in the military, so there is a massive personal part of this for me, but it is also a strong showcase of what we represent as the Royal Navy.

'˜We are doing our piece in a tri-service environment where we're all representing our own fighting arm.

'˜That's what I like most about being at the Cenotaph. Being there, being proud of what we're doing, being proud of the uniform we're wearing and representing all those guys and girls that have given their lives so that we can be where we are today.'
