Peter Abbott OBE

Over the past ten years I’ve represented the UK Government at #RemembranceDay services in Portugal, Pakistan and in the United States. But it was wonderful to be home this year, part of a new community, coming together to honour those who gave so much. 🇬🇧

#LestWeForget

After ten years working overseas, I’m thrilled to be back in London, at the heart of the greatest city on earth. Some things haven’t changed (like this view!), but many of the challenges and opportunities facing the UK have. I’m excited to get stuck in!

#PublicService 🇬🇧

After a few weeks off to relocate back to the UK, it’s back to work tomorrow, but not before a glorious #BankHoliday walk in the South Downs near our new home in Hampshire — plus a visit to the Poet’s Stone, a memorial to one of my favourite English poets, Edward Thomas! ☀️

Just like that, four incredible years come to an end. It has been the honour and privilege of my life to represent the UK in New England. We fly home tonight with hearts full of all the friendships and memories we made in this very beautiful, very special part of America. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

My final official act as Consul General was to sit down this afternoon and talk to @amorymusic at @WBUR and reflect on the last four years. Thanks Amory for a great chat! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🎙️
