One of the highlights of 2024 was the hosting of my book launch in the Constables Tower at Dover Castle in November, attended by Cranthorpe-Millner publishers, Anthony Knight MBE KJ (Fighting With Pride and The Order of Saint Joachim) and no lesser person than Queen Victoria herself, aka Vanesa Nye. My boys did me proud, and I will never forget the coming together of friends, family, professional colleagues, ex-comrades and community figures for this momentous event.
