Forty years ago today, after two months of occupation by Argentine troops, the Falkland Islands capital Port Stanely was retaken by British forces.

This unique aftermath footage was shot by ITN reporter Michael Nicholson and his crew, who had been embedded with the UK's Task Force since setting sail from Portsmouth in April 1982.
