President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and Opposition leader Simon Busuttil will this morning be marking the 37th anniversary of the closure of the British military base on the Freedom Monument in Vittoriosa. At around 11am, the President will be inspecting an AFM Guard of Honour before walking up the monument to lay the flowers at the foot of figures representing the lowering of the Union Jack for the last time by a British sailor and its replacement by a Maltese flag hoisted by a worker. Freedom Day events continue with a regatta in Grand Harbour at 1.30pm.
