- Live TV coverage (recorded at the end of the tape until it ran out) of the Canberra returning to Southampton from the Falkland Islands on 11 July 1982.
Thanks here:
www.poheritage....
to P&O for confirming the date. (I only had noted the year.)
Sounds like Alistair Burnett doing the commentary so I believe this will be ITN (ITV) coverage.
Off air recording made onto Philips Video 2000 format tape, hence dodgy playback (compared to VHS) when copied to DVD after 28 years (in 2010, and now finally uploaded in 2017) - the recorder still played back, even if some tapes have deteriorated a bit.
I am watching this and can proudly say I am on that ship , mortar troop 40 commando, my parents and neighbours had travelled down to meet me on the quayside without me knowing it was a great day
We thank you all
Thanks for your service

Rip those who never returned. 😪

@@randbarrett8706 No! Argentina decided that they were going to invade our sovereign property. We sent our troops to protect the islands and their citizens.
The early 80’s were dark days in the UK. These guys gave the country something to be proud of again when there was little else. Ultimate respect and to those that never returned especially. You will never be forgotten 🇬🇧
Pride in history of Great Britain.
Also john lennon died 1980

respect from Argentina, los dueños legitimos de las Islas Malvinas
the 80's were a turning point. Things started getting better again by 84. employment and inflation. Better than out of control inflation from the late 70's.
This video should be shown at every school in the country.

One of the proudest days of my life , The safe return of my brother Alan , 42 Commando , Royal Marines . Can be seen with the banner "2 Troop K company" @ 17 : 29 . Sadly lost my brother to cancer in 2004. Sorely missed but never forgotten , RIP bro .
This, as with all replies, arrived in my e-mail inbox. This one perhaps more than most hit home. Very sorry to read of the loss of your brother back in 2004. Pleased that with some of the other comments on here from those related to or that even served in the Falklands and returned on that ship that I had the fortitude as a 17 y/o back in 1982 that I should record as much as I did thinking I was watching something special, and that I captured your brother on video returning home.
@ spartrowel. You should be proud your brother was a hero fighting for oppressed people against the junta thugs,
Your brother is part of history and what he did will never be forgotten
Sorry for your loss
amazing lad
I had my 20th birthday down there in a hole in the ground surrounded by brilliant mates , Jeff, Paul, Sandy, nick , and all the rest✌🏼

This was when you could sing British songs and not be accused of racism.
Let them accuse all they want, walk right up to their face and belt out Rule Britannia. If they don't like it and don't want to join in that's their prerogative but if they insist on encroaching on my right to celebrate my nation and culture they can jolly well f*ck off.
Can just imagine all the pathetic snowflakes swooning 🤣
You still can sing them and not be accused of racism
I still do. Stuff the cowards, and the pathetic political correctness.

Being Polish it just breaks my heart that our heroes of WW2 were denied an occasion like this because we had to wait an extra 44 years before regaining our freedom.
Mate, more than a few of us appreciate what the Polish lads did for our freedom. Love from Scotland.
We thank you for Polski. True hero's
Jakub Widlarz the real disgrace was our immediate post war Soviet sympathizing Labour Government banning the Poles marching in the London Victory Parade especially after the Polish sacrifices in the Battle of Britain with 303 Squadron as well as Poles who fought at Monte Casino and Holland and many other places and who fought Germany longer than any other nation .
Indeed Jakub. A disgrace. Tobruk, Mont Cassino, Arnheim, Fighter Command....the brave Poles fought valiantly ...and are, our comrades in arms.....and I am an Australian !!

The Polish War memorial on the A40 tells you how much we British love Poland and its people
I remember this on the TV from my youth. Tomorrow I have the honour to go the a 2 week army exercise with the reserves. It will be nothing what these guys went through, but am thrilled to be getting a chance to go there, and take in a battle field tour etc.
Good job boys!

Thanks for the intel
My dad was on board. Nursing Supervisor at Ajax Bay No1 Surgical Support Team. So proud of him and of all personnel who went to the Falklands. RIP those on both sides who died there.
And they were welcomed to "Pomp and Circumstance" and "Rule Britannia". The Falklands were invaded in a desperate attempt of General Galtieri to keep the military junta in power. In Argentina, after the fall of the junta in 1983 and to this day, they (even today's socialist government) are lamenting this defeat by insisting that the Falklands are Argentine territory. But fact is: The Falklands (including South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands) are British, and nobody on the Falklands wants that to change.
Brilliant. Takes me back to that very day, when I was watching with Service families on the television. Seems like yesterday.
I was a 10 Yr old kid watching her leave, return from Weston Shore along Southampton Water. The day after she arrived back, my step dad went to work on her. As he was a docker. He managed to take me on board. Whilst he worked, I was in the Pig (crews bar), got spoilt all day with Soft drinks and sweets. Even a lunch in their mess. I met an RM WO2. I told him I wanted to join up when old enough. I served 3 different times in the British Army. Now a disabled veteran. I think seeing Canberra return was the day I knew for sure I wanted to join up. I even went to the careers office at 14. Told to come back at 15 and 3 months.
I joined the Jnr Ldrs Royal Artillery in June 88. Ruptured Achilles tendon Injury, so either backsquad or rejoin at 17.5yrs. Being from Southampton I knew about the military port at Marchwood. Which was what I wanted first. So luckily I managed to join the RCT Maritime on Army Landing Craft, Mexeflote rafts, Tugs, LCVPS, small fast patrol boats etc. Served 3 great yrs as a regular soldier. Made local acting LCPL. I then joined the Territorial Army from 02 to 04. Unfortunately I broke my back doing a charity parachute jump on a weekend off from SAS Signals pre Selection in March 03. June 03 had to come off Selection. As went on Course with a broken back. it was a miracle I lasted as long as I did.
My health journey is a 28yr ongoing health nightmare. Too much history to list. Now a disabled British Army Veteran. Been declared homeless bankrupt the lot. lost everything in 06. Very long story.
I was attached to 3rd Commando Brigade RM as Commando Logistics in 17 Port & Maritime Regt RCT (now RLC).
Had some great mentors ftom the Falklands. Learnt so much from these very brave souls.
You are the true definition of British stubbornness, you never let anything keep you down.
@@joshuahicks4574 As I type the sir. This is my health nightmare.
"My normal unbearable pain issues are: My Broken back degenerative disease disability, Sciatica, OCD, PTSD, Aspergers, Anxiety, Depression, and Stress. On top as I type this. I'm also dealing with:
Right knee, and left hip needing to be replaced, possible Gallstones, new borderline thoirid issue, with swelling gone but pain still extreme Huge boil and huge abscess under my jaw. Causing the 4 teeth that needed fillings, now 1 filling, and 4 teeth needing to be removed whilst in surgery, cause my bones are rare, being stronger than my teeth. This causing intense - sporadic pain in my ear, head, toothache. Also severe obese issues, from the years of Meds, Ops, ill health. So been placed onto the tier 3 nhs weight loss scheme. All of the above hurting at the same time. Even when typing this comment. I won't ever let it beat me though. My mottos - which are proudly tattooed next to my Army tattoos are: "Forward Forever - Backwards Never. Progress Not Perfection. Adapt and Overcome. Never Give Up Or In".
Beautiful sight.
Still get Goosebumps watching this...So proud So very proud of all our service men and women ❤️.. God bless you all.
For what. This was a disgrace
@@patkelly6349You're a disgrace.
The longest supply lines in history the British literally went to the other side of the planet and still won outnumbered
Gives me goosebumps every single damn time, rule Britannia! 🇬🇧
i was on the Canberra for the duration of the war as a member of the Royal Marines Band. We did military, medical and even musical duties during the war. I have written a book about it called called 'The Band That Went to War' published by Pen & Sword.
Thanks Brian l enjoyed your playing of beating the retreat going through the bay of Biscay on Canberra in 82.
@@nodeloc1955 thanks, it was our pleasure!
The roar from the boys when 'A life on the ocean wave' strikes up says it all
The ship was name after our Australian Capital City, Canberra! 🇦🇺
Of course she was. One of her main jobs in her early days was to transport the '£10 Poms' from Britain to Australia to start their new lives.
She most definitely deserve to meet her death in the breakers yard. R.I.P 'The Great White Whale'. Your place in history is assured.

@@nicolassanchez3820 Land of Hope and Glory, by Elgar: th-cam.com/video/vpEWpK_Dl7M/w-d-xo.html
@@nicolassanchez3820 SS Canberra aka the Great White Whale, with her volunteer crew was safely home from war. Battered and definitely weather-beaten the former 'Queen of the £10 Pomms' had survived. A great lady that Argentina claimed to have sunk at least half a dozen times was home to the strains of 'Rule Brittania' and ' Land of Hope and Glory'.
I lived in Portsmouth during those times. I often wondered about the lads who were my age sent off to fight. Many of them joined to escape unemployment and lack of opportunity but found themselves in a war.
Cant imagine this nowadays. Proud to be British though. Aint let no one tell me otherwise
There would still be a large crowd cheering them on just like this and singing patriotic songs, the only difference is this time there would be another large crowd on the other side burning the union jack, chanting obscenities at the troops and trying to start a riot.
Proud to be British.
I took my children to Hurst Castle Lymington to welcome Canberra home as she rounded the needles we waited with baited breath to see what way she would pass the Isle of White to our joy she came past on our side it was a memory I will never forget.
Never forget...

Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves ! 🇬🇧
I was 4 when they sailed off and 5 when they returned. I get goosebumps watching footage from the return - thinking of the poor souls who didn’t get to come home. But, this is definitely something to feel proud of 👍🏻
Well done Maggie Thatcher.....
Pity for those who never came back alive,even worse for those families never received theirs sons .
Margaret Thatcher decided to sacrifice their lives
Britain has given the world so much basically all modernity and language science etc. you should be proud.
Without a shadow of doubt this was the Canberra's finest hour
Yes, such a travesty that owners refused to sell her to many that wanted to hold on to her but instead insisted she was sold for scrap, very sad to see her being ripped apart off the beach in Pakistan.
Proud of you all my brother was on there
They have my respect.
"GET ME HAME" hahaha glad the commentator noticed that too
I arrived home the day before on HMS Glamorgan.
I remember watching this on TV in nz
"And there's another country
, I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her
, Most great to them that know"
Take pride Britain. Take pride. Don’t let anyone knock the country about. Historically, the Greatest nation in the world.
"Some of the signs are so informal as to be almost scurrilous". Come on chaps, let them off just this once!
I would have been there to welcome them home if I was alive at the time. I wasn't born until 85
My dad was on this ship 🚢 in the falklands... Jimmy keefe
Been trying to find him
When Argentinians touch our rock collection:
When the Argentinians struck, the Empire struck back. The Falklands were liberated from the Argies, Galtieri was shown where to walk, and the Falklanders rejoiced. Because it is British men and women who are the true natives to those islands.
I didn't like Maggie Thatcher but thankfully she was PM at this time. I loath to think what the present lot would have done. We can be proud of the servicemen who did their wonderful deeds for us and maintained the pride we have in oursekves.
James Goacher Christ imagine if it was that dottery old fool Michael Foote in charge at the time 😩
Most importantly we wouldn't have the ships or manpower to do this again. Britain just had the resources to do this in 82 .
@@chrisholland7367
Hello. But honestly if the Argentines try to invade the islands again they will possibly be defeated and this time faster than in 1982. Back then the islands were left, as I have read, without military protection. But nowadays if I'm not wrong you have two warships and one submarine and also helicopters and aircraft down there.
So I guess you can still do it.
I was in that crowd on the dockside somewhere.

Why did the invincible take so many months to arrive to England? Because it was obviously damaged.
'HMS invincible stayed because HMS Hermes' was heading back home. One of the two carriers had to remain on station.
Why all the talk about the Invincible? You lost and lost badly. You were embarrased and humiliated and keep talking about it doesn't help with those matters much and nor does pretending you hit the Invincible you fool.
We don't need to "pretend" to hit their ships ... We did indeed hit EIGHTEEN ships, which shows how pathetic the task force was ... even with the great help that the US gave them, since if a country with third world weapons, With bombs that did not explode (British manufacturing haha), planes without fuel, without radar, etc, they hit a similar amount of ships in just one month. Had there been a NATO vs. Warsaw Pact combat, the task force would have been defeated in a matter of days. Regarding the ground combat, their performance was also pitiful, since they faced young people without training, with obsolete weapons, without food, without protection from the cold ... and yet in the ground combat they suffered almost the same amount of casualties (327 Argentines vs 255 British) I do not deny the absolute incompetence of the Argentine leaders, the lack of plan and preparation ... But even so, they fought with courage making the colonialists pay a high price.
@@chrisgs8727 Your ground forces (albeit far braver than me) were routed despite outnumbering the British by quite a way. If you're such a third world nation why pick a fight? Stop looking for excuses you bloody idiot, you were beaten by a force that had to sail 11000 miles. No Englishman disputes that the Argentines fought with valour. The truth is that you vastly outnumbered the British, and lost.
@@chrisgs8727 in this case the Argentines were the foreign colonial invaders, and they were given a good hiding when Britain came to liberate their own.
