Mike and Zara Tindall rub shoulders with Nick Knowles at 'unbreakable bond' dinner

Granddaughter to Queen Elizabeth and former rugby pro Mike Tindall joined unlikely pal Nick Knowles at a special event on Thursday night. Hosted at Vitners Hall in London, Mike, Nick and Zara joined The Tower of London's very own 'Beefeater', Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly at the Annual Remembrance Day Dinner on November 14 in what looked to be a lovely evening.

In pictures shared at the event, Mike looked dapper in a black suit, white shirt and black bow tie, whilst Zara wore a stunning black dress decorated with gold leaves and a glittery poppy. Nick also looked very smart in a black suit, white shirt and long black tie.

The evening was described as "a poignant reflection on the unbreakable bond between rugby and the armed forces, made even more meaningful by the presence". In an Instagram post thanking the Gloucester rugby star, Rugby for Heroes wrote that the night was "dedicated to honouring the lives of our military community".

They said: "Vital funds were raised for our servicemen and women at our Annual Remembrance Day Dinner, with Patron @mike_tindall12 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 @nickknowles , former England rugby player @goodey10 and Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly. Their attendance, along with supporters of our charity, highlighted the shared respect and camaraderie between sports and service."

It went on to say that that the "dinner not only commemorated the sacrifices of our military heroes but also raised crucial funds to support our wider military family."

Adding: "A particularly special moment came as we recognised our latest course attendees, who wore their medals as a proud symbol of their unwavering support and resilience. They shared the profound impact of our #transitionthroughrugby course and their experiences of resettling after service. This dinner not only commemorated the sacrifices of our military heroes but also raised crucial funds to support our wider military family.

"We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended, contributed, and supported us. A special thank you to @watchesofbath for their generous sponsorship, which made the event at Vinters Hall, a resounding success."

Nick Knowles, who recently starred in Strictly Come Dancing, shared a picture of himself with Mike. He said: "Great night supporting Rugby for Heroes. Thanks to all who came out to raise funds for veterans."

Yeoman Warder shared a photo of himself standing with Mike and Zara, who were beaming from ear to ear. He wrote: "A fantastic night out supporting Rugby for Heroes at Vintners’ Hall, London with some amazing people.

"When toasting the King on his 76 birthday I had everyone sing happy birthday to our beloved King Charles III #royalbirthdaybeers."
