A step-by-step reconstruction of the Falklands war is to be broadcast over Twitter and Facebook to mark the 30th anniversary of the conflict.
Starting on Thursday, the collective museums of the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire, will run the day-by-day account of how the war unfolded in 1982.
Experts from the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Gosport, the Royal Marines Museum and the Fleet Air Arm Museum will also be contributing to the timeline.
Bill Sainsbury, marketing manager at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, said: “Each one of the museums of the National Museum of the Royal Navy is engaged in telling the story of the last major naval war of the 20th century from our unique perspectives.
“We hope that by coming together and using Facebook and Twitter on a day-by-day basis that we can bring this account alive as it happened 30 years ago.”
The Facebook and Twitter timeline will describe the build-up to the Argentinian invasion of the Falklands on April 2 1982 through to the surrender on June 14 1982, with the timeline concluding on June 25.
