Life On One Of The World's Most Remote Islands

Sat in the middle of the South Atlantic, 1,000 miles from the nearest mainland, Ascension Island is one of the most remote places in the world you could ever live. 
 
More than 3,000 people used to reside there during the island's peak, but now it's home to just under 800 – with 20 of those British military personnel.
 
Forces TV's Carla Prater has been finding out what life is like there today, as Ascension marks 200 years of British rule.
