Gibraltarian identity is the subject I’m focusing on this week. Should you find yourself in Casemates Square around midday on the tenth of September, you will be surrounded with a sea of red and white, thousands of Gibraltarians dressed in their national colours, waving the red and white Gibraltar flag with the castle and key motif, and you’ll be in no doubt that Gibraltar has a fierce national identity.
For activists and proud Gibraltarians Annette & Paul Tunbridge, Gibraltarian identity is something which shouldn't just be championed every Gibraltar National Day. They firmly believe the identity of the Gibraltarian was born in 1704 with the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht and despite that, they are still an “invisible” people.
