Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel:
The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in March 2000. It was built to commemorate the lives and sacrifice of all those who died during the Falklands War of 1982, and the courage of those who served with them to protect the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.
The shape of the building was designed to resemble that of a ship, reflecting the college's naval history. It was due to this history that the college was chosen as the site for the Chapel. The Queen returned to the college in 2007.
