The Argentine military cemetery which next of kin will be visiting The Falkland Islands Government has announced that on Wednesday 04 December, a private charter is scheduled to arrive at Mount Pleasant Airport, carrying the next of kin of fallen Argentine soldiers during the 1982 conflict..
This visit will allow families of the deceased to pay their respects and see their relative’s grave. There will be a ceremony at the Argentine military cemetery near Darwin supported by local and visiting clergy to mark the solemnity of the occasion.
The Falkland Islands Government is closely managing the logistical arrangements, including customs and immigration requirements, in order to follow the required processes and ensure that the families have sufficient time at the cemetery to pay their respects. They will return to Argentina later that day. Falkland Island Government officials will be on hand to help ensure that proceedings run smoothly.
The next of kin visit follows the new cooperation agreement between the UK and Argentina, Diana Mondino/David Lammy, which was announced in September 2024.

Read all commentsLiving the dream.. clearly you do not know , the Argentines have used the war graves as a political tool for years, when visiting the islands they have shown massive disrespect to the islanders, shitting everywhere, disrespecting the Falklands war memorial, raising their flags when ever possible, it was they who invaded a peaceful land , a people that bothered no one, successive Argentine governments have tried to bully the islanders, tried to isolate them, you think that deserves respect, they have not even apologised for invading and killing, threatening children with guns, as i said , if they dont accept the return of the bodies to Argentina, then a burial at sea is the right thing to do, do some research,

Most certainly the bodies should be repatriated, if they refuse to accept them then a respectful burial at sea should take place, not one Argentine should be allowed to set foot on the islands until they drop their ridiculous false claim to the Falklands,
