Along with the Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies, it was an honour to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. As I did I remembered the Falkland Islanders killed in the First and Second World Wars and those killed in the liberation of the Falklands in 1982.

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, @FalklandsRepUK
reflects on the service and sacrifice of hundreds of Falkland Islanders during the First and Second World Wars.
We also remember all who served, and those who gave their lives, in the liberation of the Falkland Islands. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

From businesses and community leaders to government and conservation experts, I’ve been speaking with and hearing directly from Falkland Islanders about the opportunities and challenges facing them.
We will continue working together for a secure, prosperous and sustainable future.

Commander Nigel "Sharkey" MacCartan-Ward was a @RoyalNavy officer who commanded 801 Naval Air Squadron in the Falklands War. Sharkey sadly died in 2024. Through Sam, his family agreed for this wonderful portrait of Sharkey to be donated to the Falkland Islands. Thank you!

It's a busy day in Westminster - this afternoon I will be leading a debate on Labour's new planning rules which will strip local Councillors of their right to call-in planning applications.

Did you know that Charles Darwin visited the Falkland Islands twice, first in 1833 and then in 1834? Today I visited Down House, Darwin's home in Kent. #Darwin 🇫🇰🇬🇧
