President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and Opposition Leader Adrian Delia stood side-by-side in Vittoriosa on Saturday morning to take part in a wreath-laying ceremony to mark Freedom Day.

President Coleiro Preca also used the occasion to meet with members of the public. 

Freedom Day marks the anniversary of the withdrawal of British troops and the Royal Navy from Malta in 1979. It falls on March 31, which this year will be Holy Saturday.
