Overview

Clive Myrie is a celebrated journalist, who has reported from hotspots all over the world, and latterly hosted the BBC’s News at Ten, Mastermind and Celebrity Mastermind.

His journalistic career has taken him to over 80 countries across multiple continents, from Asia to Africa and the Americas, covering some of the biggest stories of our time. From the British-American invasion of Iraq to the impeachment of then President Bill Clinton, from Russia’s war on Ukraine to the final of the Euros in Berlin, he has witnessed the defining moments of recent history and brought those stories home from the front-lines to the front-page.

Tickets for this event include a copy of his autobiography, Everything is Everything (cover price £10.99). In the book, you will learn about the history that brought his family to the UK from Jamaica; the fast-paced world of on-the-ground journalism, and the worst possible time to wear a red shirt.

He will be interviewed by Alison Baverstock, founder of the charity Reading Force, which connects military families through shared-reading. This is a fundraising event for the charity, which supports military families to share books and chat about them, as a way to improve communication and wellbeing within the family. Funds raised from this special evening with Clive Myrie will help the charity continue to post their special resources and books to children of all ages, in all kinds of tri-service military families – serving, veterans, bereaved or divorced, based in the UK and overseas. You can find out more about Reading Force at www.readingforce.org.uk.

The event will take place at the Victory Services Club (VSC), located in Marble Arch, London. Through its Respite and Welfare Breaks programme, the VSC offers much-needed time away for nominated serving personnel—particularly those wounded or injured on operational service, or those facing significant welfare challenges. These breaks are designed to provide rest, recovery, and support during difficult periods.

Funds raised will also support the provision of these Respite & Welfare Breaks. Further information about this important programme can be found on the Respite & Welfare Breaks page of the VSC website.
