Bill Poole aged 85, Falkland Islander, stands on March 7, 2013 in Port Stanley, beside posters calling to vote YES to remain British in the referendum which will be held on the Falklands Islands (Malvinas, for Argentina), on March 10 and 11, asking the islanders whether they wish to retain their status as a self-governing British overseas territory. Argentina says the vote is illegal. Great Britain has held the islands since 1833, but Argentine forces invaded them in 1982, prompting then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher to send ships and troops to reclaim control. The 74-day war left 649 Argentines and 255 Britons dead. AFP PHOTO/Tony Chater
