    Impressive service at the Pangbourne Falklands' Memorial Chapel

    Organizers had expected up to 1,000 people, but the chapel was extended with a temporary marquee to accommodate the additional numbers.

    More than a thousand people gathered on Sunday at Pangbourne College Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel to commemorate forty years since the end of the Falklands War. The Memorial Chapel holds a remembrance service each year for the 255 British personnel, 649 Argentines and three civilian Islanders killed during the 74 days bitter fighting in the South Atlantic in 1982.
