General Keightley; Gibraltar’s 49th Governor 1958.
It’s funny how there are times in life that bring about a chain of events which eventually bring about a change for the better. Now when Gibraltar is hosting an exhibition of the City Council and what it stood for in its day, we recall how the Second World War triggered one such chain of events, starting with the evacuation and the formation of the AACR; which in itself prompted the creation of the legislature in November 1950.
However until then, Spain had not meddled in our affairs, as they regarded us as a municipality that was kept in line by the British.
