Falklands marks 41st anniversary of Liberation Day

Liberation Day services have been held in both Stanley and the UK to mark the 41st anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands from the Argentine military invasion.

In the Falklands, islanders gather at Christ Church Cathedral for a thanksgiving service, followed by wreath-laying at the Liberation Monument and a military parade.

At the Falklands Memorial in Portsmouth, wreaths were laid to remember the lives lost in the conflict and, in Poole, a new Falklands Memorial was dedicated in Falklands Square.

• In memoriam: Every one of Britain's 255 military dead
• Falkland Islands' Mount Pleasant Complex sees £7m runway refurb completed
• Medics on Falklands hospital ship gather to remember 41 years later

It has been 41 years since the war in the Falkland Islands, which claimed the lives of 255 British military personnel.

Held every year on 14 June, Liberation Day commemorates the end of the 74-day occupation of the islands by Argentina in 1982.

The UK continues to have a military presence in the Falklands, centred at RAF Mount Pleasant.
