FALKLANDS War veteran Simon Weston will speak about his inspirational experiences in a presentation in the Square Chapel Centre for the Arts, Halifax, on February 11.

In one of the most horrific moments of the Falklands conflict, the RFA Sir Galahad was bombed by two Argentine planes.

Aboard at the time was Simon Weston, and this was an event that would change his life forever.

He escaped the burning and buckled ship, but only after suffering 46 per cent 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 story with no holds barred.

The evening aims to take people on inspirational journey from the front line of war, being on the edge of death, to today being a happy and contented father, grandfather and national treasure.
