An island in the Falklands is up for sale for the first time in more than 150 years.

The great-great-grandson of the original 1868 buyer has decided to sell Pebble Island, which comes complete with five different species of penguin and 6,000 sheep.

During the Falklands War, it was the scene of a SAS raid on the airfield, which destroyed 11 Argentine aircraft.

It is also the place where HMS Coventry is commemorated after she was sunk off the coast of Pebble Island.
