As we mark #VEDay80, this short film tells the story of the contribution made by the Falkland Islands in WWII. From 150 volunteers joining up to raising funds for 11 Spitfires and much more. All from a population of just 2,300! #WeWillRememberThem 🇫🇰🇬🇧 @James1940 | @almurray

The perfect day for a little dome removal! The Cape Pembroke Lighthouse restoration project continues. Now that the dome is on the ground, the team will be better able to give it the TLC it needs. #CapePembrokeLighthouse #FalklandIslands

On Wednesday the Museum staff and the late Garry Tyrrell received the King's Coronation Medal for services to the community. When we took on the task of organising these events we did not expect to receive such recognition but we are grateful to be recipients of this medal.🎖️

On this day in 1982, British forces attacked Argentine positions at Mount Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge with the loss of 13 lives. Some of the final actions before the liberation of the Falkland Islands, we remember all those who served and lost their lives. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 #Falklands42

What a day! The Sea Harrier and Lynx intended for display at the #LookoutGalleryAndExhibitionHall have arrived in the Islands… just in time for Liberation Day tomorrow, 14th June. As always, we are thinking of our veterans, their families, and those who never returned home.

Fulfilling a debt of honour... Naval engineers have ensured the many monuments to those killed in 1982 are in a fitting condition for the annual period of remembrance in the Falklands and Liberation Day on Friday. 🔗 royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-lates…

8/ Falkland Islanders were very keen to support the allied efforts and donated over £50,000 (almost £3 million today) for the purchase of 10 spitfires for the Royal Air Force. You can see one of the Falklands purchased spitfires in the photograph below. #DDay80
