I am a former member of the King’s Bodyguard of the Yeoman of the Guard which is a ceremonial Guard that attends HM King on state occasions. I served in the Bodyguard from 2002 until March 2018.

My career comprised of 30 years in the Army – Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME). I retired from the Army in 1994 and then joined the NHS as a general manager in mental health. I retired from work in 2013

I now carry out voluntary work for the Royal British Legion (RBL) as well as giving these talks and driving a community minibus.
