Description

On the fifth anniversary of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, the Governor of the Falklands, Gordon Jewkes, says there is no chance the Islanders will accept Argentine rule as they consider themselves British, and heaps praise on the British forces. The liberation of the Falklands will be celebrated with a church service in the Anglican Cathedral by the Rector Kevin Murphy(?) followed by a parade.
