Take a bow lads, Happy 360th birthday to the Royal Marines.
For any that are exposed to extreme danger every day, away from friends, family and really any freedom or enjoyment, you have our massive respect and love.
Every day while we go about our relaxed Sunday, the armed forces are out somewhere bitterly cold and wet, insanely hot and dry, and doing it not for any other reason that they truly believe that it is the right thing to do.
It’s service! Spare a moment to think about them.
