I followed your channel because my grandad, who was a marine engineer aboard HMS Coventry on 25 May 1982, always loved the Falklands so very much - and to have played a small part in the defence of your beautiful home, I always thought, was the proudest achievement of his life. That's why I initially followed...but you know something? I'm staying anyway, because even without the personal connection, this channel is so interesting! You showcase the very best of the Falklands and their people. I think I understand now why my grandad held you so dear to his heart.

I love watching expert tradesman at work . The shearers are very skilfull. The wool must be of high quality unique to the Falklands. It’s quality must be good for bed quilts, blankets, clothing, even for house insulation, because, if mixed with plaster, it keeps the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. ✅👍

On the 40th anniversary they had a memorial parade in Plymouth. I met one of the veterans who informed me they had a couple of Argentine veterans march with them. Very touching that these people hold no grudges towards each other they were just doing their jobs

The first Argentine families visited the graves in 1991, when I was detached to MPA. As I worked in the Officers Mess, I and a group of us supported the families in the Terminal building, offering drinks and other refreshments. I was humbled by the occasion. After I returned to the UK I went on leave with my wife to visit her brother in San Francisco, where we met a colleague of his who was Argentine. He told me that in 1982 he was in the Naval Reserve and was called up. He missed his ship, which was fortunate, as it was the Belgrano !

WHAT A EXTREMELY DECENT AND HUMANE MAN HE IS. i TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT ALL THE FALLEN, IN WAR, IF/ WHEN, FOUND, WAS GIVEN A GRAVE OR MEMORIAL STONE. MUCH BETTER LATE, THAN NEVER. IT TOOK 15 YRS FOR THE FIRST OF MY FAMILY, TO BE ABLE TO VISIT THE WW2 GRAVE OF MY BROTHER, IN GERMANY.

As a civvie, I will always give foremost attention to those that served in times of war in their efforts to remember and acknowledge those of "the other side" that fell and died, and to give them their due here and now, and forever after. Politician's sentiments change with the whims wind and tide; but those whose tools of trade are arms of war and strife, know at last the true cost of life.

Truth. Doesn't matter which side the fallen fought on. He was someone's husband, brother, son, nephew cousin. . . someone somewhere remembers this person, or never met him saw his picture or heard other family talk about himand wonder what happened. I had a half-uncle, my Granny Moore married previously to a man named Beezley. Uncle George joined the Merchant Marine and was stationed on a Dutch ship during WW2. Was somewhere off Recife, Brazil November 1942, and U-Boat sunk his vessel. he was at sea over 60 plus days, died and was buried at sea. Survivors picked up after 83 days.What I am trying to say is that the family members were able to visit the deceased and pay respects. My Granny Moore had two boys at war, the other one was my dad (ex-USMC) he did come home finally. Met and married my mom in '48, had me in '54. Passed in 2009. Still miss him. Always important to grieve, keeps you whole emotionally.

I visit and pay my respect at every military cemetery I come across, regardless of nationality. The dead within seldom wanted to fight in whatever ridiculous war they died in. As an British soldier I have respect for anyone who served their country, willingly or not....with a few exceptions of course.
