30th Falklands Liberation Day Acts of Remembrance – there were of course many, notable and in not any particular order were:
·      HRH The Duke of York attended a service of commemoration at the Fleet Air Arm Memorial Church, at RNAS Yeovilton to mark the 30th anniversary of the Falkland Islands' liberation. The Duke served as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot with 820 Naval Air Squadron onboard the Aircraft Carrier INVINCIBLE during the Falklands War.       Prince Andrew went on to visit the Fleet Air Arm Museum to see the new Falklands Exhibition due to open shortly, he also visited the Royal Navy Historic Flight in his capacity as Patron of the Fly Navy Heritage Trust, where he experienced the open cockpit of the Fleet Air Arm's legendry Second World War carrier based Fairey SWORDFISH.
