Six speakers from different walks of life gave their testimonies at British Forces Gibraltar's annual Women's Day event at the Officer's Mess in Devil's Tower Camp.

From Royal Navy Commanders to charity coordinators, the event was a remarkable insight into the stories of women and their paths in life.

Some have overcome adversity and challenges to reach career goals, others have chosen a path of personal happiness above all else.

The event was attended by Equality Minister Christian Santos and opened with an address by Commander British Forces Tom Guy.
