Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly, the Tower of London’s own Beefeater, joined the trio for their evening.

The social media caption, written by Rugby for Heroes, read: “Vital funds were raised for our servicemen and women at our Annual Remembrance Day Dinner, with Patron Mike Tindall joined by wife, Zara, standing side by side in a night dedicated to honouring the lives of our military community.

“The evening was a poignant reflection on the unbreakable bond between rugby and the armed forces, made even more meaningful by the presence of our devoted ambassador Nick Knowles, former England rugby player Andy Goode and Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly.

“Their attendance, along with supporters of our charity, highlighted the shared respect and camaraderie between sports and service.”
