Honouring the Past

BBC Two - An Island Parish, Series 10 - Falklands, Honouring the Past

The new governor and his wife arrive on the island.

Series following the Falkland Islands' community. On the anniversary of the Battle of Mount Tumbledown, the Rev Richard Hines treks up to the summit.

It is the anniversary of the Battle of Mount Tumbledown, and the Rev Richard Hines joins the scouts on a trek up to the summit, where they honour those who died during the fierce fighting. They lay a wreath, bury a memento and do their duty by giving the memorial cross a good polish. 

Meanwhile, the new governor Colin Roberts and his wife Camilla have arrived on the island. There is a lot of unpacking to do, from Camilla's homemade jam to the photos of their two little boys. But another important family member is also about to turn up. Bonnie, their spaniel, has been three weeks at sea and has arrived safely. She is bursting to get to know her new home, but first she has to be inspected and vaccinated by local vet Steve Pointing. 

Out in 'camp' (anywhere in the Falklands outside of the capital Stanley - from the Spanish word campo) Lisa Lowe lovingly tends her herd of Ayrshire cows. Willow, Ella and Molly are among only a handful of dairy cows on the islands and their fresh milk is like gold dust to Lisa's eager customers in Stanley.
