Veterans and the families of those who died during the Falkland Islands conflict are being invited to register for a balloted flight to the islands.
There will be 100 places on the flight, funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), with seats allocated to those eligible and a partner of their choice.
The flight will see those chosen the chance to be in the Falkland Islands over Remembrance Weekend in November.
