RESIDENTS from across Portsmouth have a connection to the Armed Forces one way or another.
The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom, which lasted between April 2 and June 14, 1982.
To mark those who gallantly served our country, and their families, commemoration events will be taking place across Portsmouth and Hampshire.
This procession of events will mark the 40th anniversary of the conflict.
Current servicemen from the Royal Navy, British Army, and RAF, will be present at many of them.
Some of the commemorations have already started.
More than a 100 veterans gathered on the steps of the Guildhall to watch the stunning Beating Retreat display by the world-acclaimed Royal Marines Band.
The News will have reporters at several of these events.
