The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, today met with the Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Lord David Cameron, at the Foreign Office in London in order to discuss the outstanding issues and matters in the ongoing negotiation with the European Union in relation to Gibraltar.
On Sunday 8th March, in Trafalgar Cemetery, a plaque in the memory of a Friend of Gibraltar, Richard Wells CBE, was blessed by Reverend Charles Howard with Richard's widow Ditte and son George in attendance.
The GSD has criticised the Chief Minister’s ‘attempts to make political capital out of legal claims made against the Gibraltar Government’. Commenting on the second commencement of legal proceedings relating to housing developments undergone by the former administration, the party has said that ‘Mr Picardo is, unfortunately, incapable of putting Gibraltar before his own narrow political interests’.
A piece of Gibraltar Rock, donated to the Royal Marines last year, was unveiled as a new memorial on Woodbury Common in Devon, which is used by trainees of the nearby Commando Training Centre Royal Marines Exton.
