Howard Briley OBE 1931-2023: A friend to the Falkland Islands


Tributes have been pouring for Harold Briley, who passed away on 26 June 2023, surrounded by his family, after a long battle with cancer, which he bore bravely.

Harold Briley OBE, a friend to the Falkland Islands of long standing, and former editor of our Newsletter died on 26 June 2023; he will be much missed as the gentleman he was, as well as the reporter that never flinched from reporting the truth.  Harold was responsible for the BBC World Service’s ‘Calling the Falklands‘ for many years.

Tom Swales, FIA Honorary Secretary: “Harold had a fascinating, varied, and interesting career – he was such a modest man.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Norah, his daughter, Heather, Son, Kevin, and all those who knew and cared for Harold.
