Defence in the Media: 13 June 2016

Posted by: , Posted on: - Categories: Defence in the media

There are stories on the Queen’s birthday honours list and comments from senior French admirals on an EU Army in today’s Defence-related media. 

Honours List

Articles in the Daily Express and The Sun report that an inquiry has been launched after the names of two SAS soldiers appeared by accident on a published list of Queen’s birthday honours recipients. An unnamed senior source is quoted in both pieces, describing the error as “an unforgivable mess”.

A MOD spokesperson said:

We are aware of an error regarding Queen’s birthday honours recipient details published online on 11 June. The error was soon identified and the list was taken down.
