The first ever Invictus Spirit Awards presented by ATCO would not have been possible without the generous support and commitment of everyone who helped bring the evening to life. Thank you to our sponsors and partners for their support, the Irish Guards for helping make the evening so special, and to every guest who joined us in London and helped us celebrate the Invictus Community. Thank you to the award presenters, performers and the many familiar faces from across sport, entertainment and public life who came along to show their support. Most importantly, thank you to our nominees and award winners. The evening was about recognising the people who give so much to the Invictus Movement and the difference they continue to make.

This morning we'll be remembering the sacrifice of the pilots and aircrew who fought in the #BattleOfBritain at our annual Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication. We'll be streaming the service from 11:00am (BST) and you can watch live or on demand at: piped.video/live/4hLGvK_AiiI… The Battle - a 112-day fight for control of Britain's skies between July and October 1940 - was the first decisive battle in history fought entirely in the air, and one which proved to be a dramatic turning point in the Second World War. #BattleofBritain #BattleofBritainSunday

For Remembrance weekend, travel costs shouldn't stand in the way.   This year, free rail travel is being extended to eligible bereaved military families, recognising their central place in our national acts of remembrance and helping ensure that the cost of travel is never a barrier to attending moments of reflection, commemoration and tribute.    Alongside this new provision, serving personnel and veterans continue to benefit from free travel on national rail services to attend Remembrance services and events.   Apply by 16 October to secure your ticket.
