Day 2 of The Suffolk Show and Trinity Park is buzzing with excitement already.

Come and meet the ponies, Peg and Bruno, and pick yourself up some ally merch at the charity stand in the military village. You could even bag yourself your own teddy Peg to take home!

It’s starting to get busy here at the Suffolk Show.

We are tucked away in the military village and have lots of goodies available for you to buy to show your support.

Suffolk Show 2026

The weather is looking glorious for this year’s Suffolk Show.

If you’re heading to the show this year, do stop by the military village to say hello to the team. We will have a wide selection of merch available to buy to show your support, as well as a selection of deactivated weapons for you to look at and learn more about life in the reg.

Regimental mascots, Pegasus and Bruneval, will also be with us for you to meet.

When Pegasus met Pegasus...

Sadly, not everyone can keep the Regiment's mascot at home — but this is the next best thing.

It was a great day for a garden party yesterday, as some of our staff and Beacons joined over 2,000 veterans in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. The event, which was hosted by HRH The Princess Royal, was honouring and celebrating all those who have served their country and saw veterans in attendance ranging in age from their 20s to those over 100.

They were joined by several veterans from The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces, including Jon Noble, who we have supported over the years. It was our honour and privilege to also have in attendance some Next of Kin from our Regimental Roll of Honour.

Our thanks go to our friends at The Not Forgotten for giving us the opportunity to celebrate this special day with them.

A huge well done to Ronnie, who took on the Colchester Stampede last weekend to raise money for SUPPORT OUR PARAS, completing the course in an impressive 41:26!

Ronnie said: “I want to fundraise for SUPPORT OUR PARAS because they have helped my dad through difficult times and have been incredibly supportive. I want to play my part and support them too.”

Ronnie has already raised over £600, which is an incredible achievement, and we want to publicly thank him for his amazing support.

Funding has recently been given to establish a 2 PARA Sports Parachuting Team, enhancing the physical fitness, morale, and professional development of our soldiers.

This team provides soldiers with the opportunities to gain parachuting licences and qualifications, as well as supporting the development of courage and confidence in their core role within battalion.

The team recently competed at the British Skydiving Accuracy Grand Prix and secured one gold and two silver medals across the Novice and Intermediate categories 🥇🥈🥈

Regimental Efficiency is one of our main charitable objects, where we provide grants to Para Reg units and individuals to support initiatives just like this one and your donations make this possible.

From caps to patches, toys to stickers, we've got something for everyone.

3 PARA - Army Inter Unit Team Boxing Champions 2026 🥊

A great night in Aldershot last night, as 3 PARA secured a 6-3 win against 2 RIFLES in the Army Inter Unit Boxing Finals.

Even better to see the team showcasing SUPPORT OUR PARAS in the ring, in recognition of the funding we provide to the team.

If you'd like to get your hands on a shirt to wear your support like the team, head over to our online shop and grab one of our SOP tri-blend t-shirts; available in three colours. https://supportourparas.org/product/support-our-paras-tri-blend-t-shirt/

A huge thank you to members of the Worcester and Hereford Parachute Regiment Association who recently donated £250 to the charity.

We are incredibly grateful to have such wonderful support from branches of The Parachute Regimental Association. Their decision to support us means we can continue looking after our wider Airborne family, and in many cases, change lives.

If you would like more information about how you can donate or raise funds for the charity, you can drop us a DM or email Amanda on [email protected]
