Thanksgiving
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (R) shakes the hand of Cherie Blair (C) beside Baroness Margaret Thatcher (L) and current Prime Minister Tony Blair (R) during a Remembrance Service commemorating 25 years since the Falklands Conflict at The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel in Pangbourne, Berkshire, 14 June 2007. The service marks the first official event marking Falklands 25, with The Queen and the Prime Minister joining families and veterans in a service of Thanksgiving. Twenty-Five years ago the Falkland Islands were liberated from Argentine occupation. The campaign saw the loss of 255 service and civilian personnel, and three Islanders.
