It's a different type of blog post today, which marks the 30th anniversary of the Falklands conflict ending. I have considered whether it is even appropriate to do a blog post at all as conflicts like this evoke strong emotions and this particular one still does today. And, after all, 907 people died. I can't refer to this as a war as many people do as firstly we were not "at war" with Argentina for a few weeks in 1982, but we were in dispute over a remote set of Islands near Argentina.
In the end, I decided that it would be crazy to do a blog all about 1982 and ignore completely a major event like this. I am sure many non-UK readers won't be that aware of this conflict or even aware at all if they are young. If you want to read about it, in General, here is the Wikipedia article.
No videos today, just a few images. Normal service in the next blog post.
