BFBS Forces News access to First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins


BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) will release a special Forces News interview with First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, General Sir Gwyn Jenkins, on 8 July 2026.

In a frank and in-depth interview with BFBS’ Tim Cooper, General Sir Gwyn hosted a rare tour on board HMS Daring, as he discussed his vision for the future of the Royal Navy, including plans for a hybrid navy, recruitment and retention, morale, warfighting readiness, submarine readiness, the work of the Joint Expeditionary Force, and more.

Gibraltar: Walks Through History Programme

 


The Gibraltar National Museum is pleased to announce the return of its popular ‘Walks Through History’ summer programme, taking place on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:30 throughout July and August as part of the Summer Sports and Leisure Programme. Designed for children aged between 9 and 12 years old, the programme offers young participants an engaging opportunity to discover Gibraltar’s rich and fascinating past through guided outdoor experiences.

Now a well-established feature of the Museum’s summer activities, the walks combine history, heritage and exploration in a way that encourages curiosity and learning beyond the classroom.  This year, two additional walks have been added to the programme, allowing the Museum to offer activities throughout the newly extended school summer holidays.  Accompanied by Museum guides, participants will explore a range of historic sites across Gibraltar while learning about the people, events and stories that have shaped the Rock over thousands of years.

From ancient caves and defensive fortifications to hidden corners of the old town and wartime tunnels carved deep within the Rock, each walk focuses on a different aspect of Gibraltar’s unique heritage.  Through these experiences, children are encouraged to develop a stronger connection with the history and environment that surrounds them in their daily lives.

As in previous years, places are expected to fill quickly.  All activities are free of charge, but advance booking is essential due to limited availability.  Parents or guardians are welcome to accompany children, although priority will be given to participating children where numbers are restricted.  Bookings will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and must be made via email.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate children who arrive without a confirmed booking.

Registration forms are available to download on our website: https://www.gibmuseum.gi/news/walks-2026

Every mind works differently. Dyslexic thinking brings creativity, imagination, and new perspectives that help solve problems in exciting and innovative ways. By recognising and valuing differences, we create a more inclusive world where everyone’s strengths can shine. When we embrace how each mind works, we unlock brilliance.
The competition is open to adults and children who are residents of Gibraltar. Participants may submit up to three original works.
There will be four categories as follows:

BFBS to deliver live coverage of the 2026 Nepal Cup Final on 4 July

On 4 July 2026, one of the most significant occasions in Gurkha sport returns as the Nepal Cup Final is broadcast live exclusively with BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service), bringing together tradition and pride in a showcase event at the heart of the military sporting calendar.

The hugely anticipated final will be streamed live on Forces News YouTube and on BFBS TV (serving personnel and families overseas only) ensuring those in active service, veterans, and military football followers across the globe can follow every moment of the action as it unfolds.

The Nepal Cup is widely regarded as one of the most important days in Gurkha sport, combining elite competition with cultural celebration and ceremonial tradition. The Queen’s Gurkha Signals have dominated recent years, lifting the trophy for the past two seasons, including a 2-0 victory over the Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment in last year’s final. In 2024, the competition delivered one of its most memorable editions to date, featuring a five-goal thriller packed with outstanding goals and emotional reactions.

Kyle Dixon, BFBS Sport Reporter & Producer, said: “BFBS looks forward to sharing the livestreamed experience in this final, a standout occasion where tradition and sporting talent come together to unite the military community. Being able to capture the colour and intensity in real-time is at the heart of what BFBS Sport does.”

BFBS broadcasts more than 60 live military sporting events each year, continuing its mission to connect the global forces community through sport. This year’s final promises to deliver another iconic moment in military sporting history, with news coverage also available here: https://www.forcesnews.com/sport/football/nepal-cup-final-experience-amazing-gurkha-football-event-live-bfbs-sport
