Falklands 'forgotten ship' finally honoured


AT LAST there stands a memorial to the ‘forgotten ship’ on the islands she helped liberate 30 years ago.
On Hookers Point outside Stanley, and surrounded by small square granite setts representing the ship’s company, is the monument to HMS Glamorgan.
Nineteen miles from that spot in 1982, the guided missile destroyer was struck by an Argentine Exocet missile in one of the final acts of the Falklands war.
