Remembrance Sunday inevitably focuses on the two world wars in which millions of people died.

But there have been many other conflicts since then involving British deaths and injuries.

One of them was the Falklands War 20 years ago and people who served in that conflict will take pride of place in this year's commemorations.

So they should because, while the conflict was minor compared with the Second World War, the motivation for Britain's participation was much the same.

In each case a dictator wanted to annexe territory against the people's wishes and in each case he was defeated.

Sussex war veterans, who are among many who have since returned to the Falklands, are understandably proud that the islanders appreciated what they did in 1982.

We salute their courage.
