Happy Anguilla Day.
Celebrating the islandโs 1967 declaration of independence, with the flag of this British Overseas Territory flying in New Palace Yard today.
Today the Legislative Assembly Marks Overseas Territories Day as a proud member of the UK OTs family.
We are proud to exercise our self-determination and choose our modern relationship with the UK as an Overseas Territory.

The Falkland Islands Youth Parliament held their own Assembly sitting today, asking questions of MLAs after spending their last few meetings learning about Assembly procedure. An excellent opportunity for our young parliamentarians!

Today Members of the Legislative Assembly Dot Gould & Cheryl Roberts share a message from the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly for International Women's Day 2026.
#InternationalWomensDay2026 #IWD#InternationalWomensDay
On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the inspirational women of the Falkland Islands! ๐ซ๐ฐ
From excelling in sport and representing our community to serving in public office and at the highest levels of government, these women are role models for us all. ๐

Darwin visited the Falkland Islands in March 1833 and March 1834 during his worldwide 1831-1836 scientific expedition aboard HMS Beagle. ๐
The ship was captained by Robert FitzRoy - for whom the settlement of Fitzroy on East Falkland is named after. ๐
With the #WinterOlympics underway, here's a photograph of Falkland Islander Louis Baillon who won the Gold medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics with the English Field Hockey Team. ๐
Born at Fox Bay, West Falkland, in 1881, we're immensely proud of Louis's achievement. ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฅ
Introducing this monthโs #FalklandFriday๐ซ๐ฐ video focusing on spectacular Sea Lion Island. ๐ฆญ
Published on the first Friday of every month, this series of videos is dedicated to a unique or special part of the #FalklandIslands
Exciting to see the countdown to #Glasgow2026 underway! The Falkland Islands are proud to be part of the Commonwealth Games family and look forward to our athletes representing the Islands on this fantastic stage!
#CommonwealthGames @commonwealthsec@UKinCW#UKOTs#Commonwealth
Less than 6 months to go until the Commonwealth Games return to the UK!
The UK Government is proud to support the games. A pleasure to be at Edinburgh Castle with the Commonwealth Games association, athletes & sporting organisations to celebrate the countdown to Glasgow 2026!
Pictured here in 1908: Baillon is to-date the only Falkland Islands Olympian, and he won gold!
(Emphasis on to-date, as The Falklands have many competitors go to the #IslandGames and #CommonwealthGames, and, hopefully, the #Olympics again some day!)
Let's go @TeamGB! Always making the whole Global British Family proud!
Little known fact: The Falklands may have never had an Olympian at the #WinterOlympics, but in the 1908 Summer Olympics a Falkland Islander named Louis Baillon was part of the Gold-Medal GB field hockey team!
A valuable week of UK engagement for MLA Jack Ford. Thanks to the @FalklandsinUK team for coordinating programme, and their work representing Falkland Islanders in London. And thank you to all who met with him! ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ๐ง

This week, we welcomed Chair of @FIAssembly, the Hon. Jack Ford MLA, for a busy few days of meetings.
While in the UK, MLA Ford met with Ministers, Shadow Ministers, @CommonsSpeaker and Senior Civil Servants - strengthening the ties between the Falklands and the UK. ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ๐ง
The CPA BIMR Election Observation Mission preliminary statement on the 2025 Falkland Islands General Election noted high turnout, an orderly process, and transparent counting.
We look forward to the full report.
