LOCAL MP Andrew Murrison has been representing the government at Remembrance in the Falkland Islands alongside veterans of the Falklands War.
This year marks 40 years since the taskforce sailed for the Falklands after the Argentinian invasion. Andrew spent time talking with veterans and families who had made the 8,000-mile journey, with islanders in the capital, Stanley, and with serving personnel at Mount Pleasant.
He said, “The UK remains as committed to upholding the freedom and rights of people against aggressors as we were 40 years ago.”
Andrew was recently reappointed as a defence minister by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
