Stanley - Battle Parade

This was a bit of a treat going in to Stanley to watch a parade.
 I've forgotten most of what I was told about the history, but it was WW1 and Churchill sent the big boats and guns down to the South Atlantic... and there was something to do with Admiral Graaf Spey. Google it!
It's a public holiday and all the locals were out to watch the parade. All the local dignitaries attended and I got chatting to two chelsea supporters! That cheered me up. At anchor was HMS Clyde so, Dad, this snap was taken with you in mind. She really looked a picture with her flags fluttering.
