    What a great job you've done when your MP5 ended one of the toughest of all anti-terrorist operations in the history; thank you Mr. Firmin and the SAS for an outstanding job.

    I watched the film ‘6 days’ earlier, I didn’t know there was a movie about the siege up until today but it was pretty good film. Pretty cool one of the protagonists was rusty ( well not him but an actor playing him ). 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 true British hero

    It really is true that ‘we sleep peacefully in our beds because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those who would do us harm.’ Thanks from a grateful nation for what you did on that fateful day.
    Will listen to ‘Marche Des Parachutistes Belles’ today in honour of both red and blue teams efforts.
    Well done lads.

    Cant believe its 40 years to the day today. I can remember it vividly as a 10yr old boy seeing these men all dressed in black taking the Iranian embassy by storm. I can remember being scared and amazed watching the news. It still amazes me to this day. 👍👍👍

    I was six and a half when I saw this on TV and I never forgot it. Made us kids feel safe, knowing we had the SAS. Thanks for this. To see it through adult eyes, from the 'horses mouth' is truly humbling.

    I know exactly where I was at 7:15 on that day.My MotherRIP was calling me to come in from the street where I was kicking a ball around.She called me in time watch th assault.She knew something was going to happen. I think all the adults were just waiting for some sort of assault. Especially after the death of Lavasani.I was 11yrs old and it blew everyone away!Great Day for British morale!
