Veterans of the Falklands War have held a remembrance service for Shropshire school children, where they shared their experiences of the conflict.
Held at St Mary's Church, Market Drayton, the service was organised by the local branch of the Royal British Legion. One of the veterans there was Tony Matthews, who served as a mechanical engineer marine on board the HMS Alacrity. “It’s good because this is actually living history. People have still got stories and we can still tell stories,” he said."You think: 'Why, why, why?' We didn’t want to go to war, but sometimes we have to."
Speaking of his role in the battle, which sought to liberate the islands after Argentina invaded them in 1982, Mr Matthews said it was a poignant time for him."They’re still on watch down there.""It was actually really interesting, because without experiencing it, you can think about what they went through," said 10-year-old Ella from Longlands Primary School."I liked how we could see some of the pictures.
