Died: March 16, 2021. IT was the moment, Charles Moore recollects in the first volume of his biography of Margaret Thatcher, when the SAS, previously relatively little known, became a household word for heroism. On May 5, 1980, teams from 22 SAS stormed the Iranian embassy in Princes Gate, in South Kensington, London, dramatically ending a siege that had begun on April 30 when six heavily-armed terrorists had taken 26 people hostage. The gunmen had demanded the release of 91 Arabs imprisoned in Khuzestan, a region in southern Iran for whose independence they claimed to be fighting. They threatened to blow up the embassy if their demands were not met by noon the following day. Police closed off the area and took over neighbouring buildings.
Today we are reporting the sad news that Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband of HM The Queen for more than seventy years, has died at the age of 99. No stranger to Pembrokeshire the Queen and the Duke visited several times. One particularly memorable visit was in April 2014 when the couple visited a variety of county businesses and organisations. Hook and Spittal Schools lined the route waving flags as a visit to Puffin Produce was first on the agenda. The Duke took a particular interest in the operations of both Puffin Potatoes and the Blas y Tir brand.
