Re-Enactment Society - Gibraltar

The Ceremony of the Keys is performed once a year by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and re-enacted every Saturday morning at midday by the Gibraltar Re-enactment Association. Since the capture of the Rock in 1704, the Keys of Gibraltar have symbolised the possession of the Fortress by Great Britain.

Founded in 2002, the Association celebrates and promotes Gibraltar's military history. The President of the Gibraltar Re-enactment Association Joseph Rodriguez, accompanied by Secretary Mr M Infante, presented the medallion to Minister Cortes in recognition of the support of the Ministry of Culture for the Association throughout its history.

Glimpse of The Future:-

The ONLY Key to Gibraltar's future is on The Flag - As a "Sign", of Gibraltar's renewed commitment to keeping The Covenant, when it makes that very serious commitment, the castle, on the flag, will have to be re-coloured back to its original blue (to demonstrate that the People agree that God and not Satan should rule Heaven).

Re-enactment Association in Changing of the Guard - How about they perform a ceremony, handing over the keys to the Real Governor of Gibraltar?

With or without their support or recognition - Christ HOLDS THE KEY to Gibraltar's Bright Future.

​'The Awakening' immersive audio & visual experience now available to view at St Michael's Cave

You may already know that the light-show in St. Michael's Cave is called "The Awakening" - Great title.

What you'll find interesting from the above report is this quote from Christian Wright, Wright Tech Media, who was referring to the new feature - an appearance of an angel, using the formation of the cave and the newly installed lights, "(the formation) was discovered by accident, and just almost felt like a bit of a sign, excuse the religious pun, but it was almost like St. Michael finally was found in the cave..."

The "last colony" in Europe? | Growing up in Gibraltar

At the Southern tip of the Spanish peninsula is a piece of land measuring under 7 km2, whose GDP per capita is one of the highest in the world: it's Gibraltar.

Gibraltar is one of Britain's overseas territories, and according to its citizens, it's happy to be one. Commuting to Spain for groceries and restaurants, welcoming thousands of Spaniards coming in for work daily, the lives of those living under the Rock are an extraordinary mix of English and Spanish culture.

We went to the country that Spain defined "the last colony in Europe" to ask a young Spanish person and a young Gibraltarian what it means to grow up under the Rock.

The young man in the video mentions they "need something". What they need is to unite The Campo:

Maybe she has social media to tell her about he real significance of Gibraltar.
