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.
