This weekend marked 310 years since an Anglo-Dutch force captured Gibraltar from Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1-3^rd August, 1704. British rule over the Rock was secured “in perpetuity” under the Treaty of Utrecht which was signed in 1713.

Many unsuccessful attempts have been made by Spain to retake Gibraltar, the most notable of which were the siege of 1727 and the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779 to 1783).
