It's paws up this Christmas 🐾

Irish Guards' mascot Seamus and his handler Drummer Joseph Aldridge have definitely earned their place on the sofa.

It’s been a massive year for the duo, a highlight being leading pass-out parades for Ukrainian troops finishing their training.

This #Remembrance, Army Reservist Rhys Little remembers his Grandpop, who was pulled from normal life to serve in WW2.

Rhys carries on that spirit of service.

When he's not leading teams at @Tesco, he's commanding soldiers - using his Army leadership skills in both roles.
