    1/3 We applaud Prince Harry for speaking out about the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging others to seek support if they’re struggling. On average veterans wait 13 years before asking for help by which time their mental health problems have become severe.

    Armistice Day honours the day that First World War peace negotiations began. Today we remember, thank and recognise those who bravely fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice, alongside our thanks and respect to past and present Armed Forces members who continue to serve.
