The Chilean community in the Falkland Islands celebrated their country’s independence day on Thursday 18 September with a reception hosted by H E the Governor Colin Roberts at Government House, and a party at the Narrows Bar.

In Chile the occasion is a weeklong celebration but in the Falklands the happy revelers must settle for something a little more conservative. Over 330 Chileans live and work in the Falkland Islands, making it the largest foreign community, excluding BOT St Helena.

Nice that Falklanders can celebrate Chilean Independence and Freedom, together as brothers.
