The Falkland Islands Youth Parliament held their own Assembly sitting today, asking questions of MLAs after spending their last few meetings learning about Assembly procedure. An excellent opportunity for our young parliamentarians!

To mark #CommonwealthDay, the Falkland Islands Youth Parliament held a special sitting with Members of the @FIAssembly. 🌎🇫🇰

Always fantastic to see the young people of the Falklands engaging with the democratic institutions of our Islands! 👏

Darwin visited the Falkland Islands in March 1833 and March 1834 during his worldwide 1831-1836 scientific expedition aboard HMS Beagle. 🌎

The ship was captained by Robert FitzRoy - for whom the settlement of Fitzroy on East Falkland is named after. 📍

With the #WinterOlympics underway, here's a photograph of Falkland Islander Louis Baillon who won the Gold medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics with the English Field Hockey Team. 🏑

Born at Fox Bay, West Falkland, in 1881, we're immensely proud of Louis's achievement. 🇫🇰🥇

The Assembly office moved this year Sulivan House. Last week the Assembly's Political Support & Community Outreach Officer, Nicholas Roberts (@TheNDRoberts) showed FITV around our new office. 🇫🇰

Pictured here in 1908: Baillon is to-date the only Falkland Islands Olympian, and he won gold!
(Emphasis on to-date, as The Falklands have many competitors go to the #IslandGames and #CommonwealthGames, and, hopefully, the #Olympics again some day!)

[Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly @FIAssembly]

Let's go @TeamGB! Always making the whole Global British Family proud!
Little known fact: The Falklands may have never had an Olympian at the #WinterOlympics, but in the 1908 Summer Olympics a Falkland Islander named Louis Baillon was part of the Gold-Medal GB field hockey team!
