The BBC reports on a rememberance event for the Falklands War.

The Falklands have marked 30 years since the end of the war with Argentina with a service at Liberation Monument.

Veterans of the 1982 war then led a military parade to the Liberation Monument for an act of remembrance, paying tribute to the 255 UK servicemen and three Falklands civilians who died in the war.

Wreaths were laid at the monument and the national anthem was played.

An estimated 650 Argentines were also killed during the conflict.

Another interesting, albeit controversial fact, is that the Falklands War helped focus the UK on a collection of IT service provider management practices. It has been widely claimed that the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) became a priority after serious delays were found in mobilizing British naval forces. The delay in getting warships from England to Argentina was apparently said to be caused by service provider deficiencies.
