Antiques Roadshow’s Fiona Bruce cheekily warns veteran ‘speak for yourself!’ after touching tribute Antiques Roadshow visited Alexandra Gardens in the heart of Cardiff for the latest episode which aired today, Sunday, January 12.
This instalment of the BBC series was a repeat of an episode which originally aired back on January 14, 2024, and featured Fiona Bruce meeting up with Falklands War veteran Simon Weston by a memorial to those lost in the conflict.
The Welsh Guardsman revealed most of the names on the memorial were friends from his platoon, before taking Fiona through two campaign medals he received during his service, the Northern Ireland and South Atlantic medals.
When he was just 20 years old, Simon was seriously injured during an attack, suffering severe burns across half his body and losing over half his body weight over the subsequent weeks.
“They are there because I lost people, I lost friends,” he shared.
