Queen Elizabeth II Message: 25 Years of FREEDOM and a FUTURE for FALKLAND ISLANDERS.

25 Years of FREEDOM and a FUTURE for FALKLAND ISLANDERSOn the occasion of the 25 Anniversary of your Liberation from Argentine occupation, The Duke of Edinburgh joins me in sending greetings to you all. I know that this anniversary year brings you a mixture of memories. At the service at the Falklands Memorial Chapel in Pangbourne and as the veterans of the Task Force parade in London on Sunday, we shall remember those who are no longer here and our thoughts will be with their families and loved ones. Twenty five years ago, the men and women of the Task Force made a stand for democracy and freedom. Since then, you have shown that their sacrifice was not in vain by your continued loyalty and determination to safeguard and develop your way of life in these Islands. This week offers you an opportunity to look back with pride on your achievements and to look forward to a prosperous future, living in freedom and governed by those whom you have chosen. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
