It is now four months after the government announced a "major celebration" to mark the 25th anniversary of the Falklands war (http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffairs/story/0,,1806472,00.html). However, to date, no official information about the form of the celebration has been released.
We are still 5 months away from the anniversary (Argentine troops took possession of the islands on 2 April 1982). If you think that is too short a time for publicising the plans, you should remember that the conflict only lasted 74 days. So plenty of time yet!
One website to keep your eyes on is that of the Scots Guards. It announces that details of forthcoming events, regarding the anniversary, will be "coming soon" (http://www.army.mod.uk/scotsguards/).

Violator - "Leftys" did not opt to provide the Islands away. in truth the Labour authorities of Jim Callaghan despatched warships to the Falklands in the previous due Nineteen Nineteen Seventies to warn off the Argentinians at the same time as they seen invading then. remember it truly is replaced into the political ineptitude of the Thatcher authorities which delivered about the Argentinians believing they could grab the islands. Merlin - the "French Scum" you search for suggestion from were the human beings who gave us the codes to disable the Exocet missiles and lent the RAF great Entardarde jets in basic terms so that they could practice close wrestle with them. Peter C - the Falklanders do opt to stay British. yet they were no longer British on the time of the conflict. The Thatcher authorities had made this sparkling in the 1981 Nationality Act (between the the reason why the Argentinians notwithstanding the British had given up of the islands). The islanders in difficulty-free words grew to change into British below the 1983 Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act. JS (below). Your remark about the army is twaddle. The RN now has a a concepts more advantageous means for Falklands variety deployments that it had in 1982 - HMS ALBION, HMS BULWARK and HMS OCEAN, plus countless new RFAs. besides our submarines can now hearth cruise missiles at land objectives.
