Islanders gather at Christ Church Cathedral to mark the occasion with a thanksgiving service followed by wreath laying at the Liberation Monument and a military parade. The day is a public holiday in the Falkland Islands. 2022 was named the 'Looking Forward at Forty' year, a special way of making the 40th Anniversary a time to reflect on the achievements that have been made with their hard-won freedom, and to look forward to the next 40 years of life in the Falkland Islands. *Of the 2,950 issue limit, 2,000 of these were gifted to the school children of the Falkland Islands and only 950 were available for purchase. The coins were presented in a special colour pack.
