Simon Weston OBE

It was a the conflict of a generation and one that many people will never forget. On the second of April 1982 Argentina invaded the Falklands Islands.

What was to follow saw 655 Argentine Soldiers and 255 British Serviceman slain. Amongst those who were sent to the conflict was Simon Weston OBE.

In one of the most horrific moments of the conflict the HMS Sir Galahad was bombed by two Argentine planes, aboard at the time was Simon. Against the odds, Simon escaped the burning and buckled ship, but only after suffering 46% burns to his body.

Today he has become one of the most recognised faces of the conflict and for the first time ever Simon is taking to the stage to tell his no holds barred story.

Simon Weston; My Life, My Story is a truly inspirational show about one mans journey from the front line of war and being on the edge of death, to today being a happy and contented Father, Grandfather and national treasure.
