The Home Affairs Minister is heading to Gibraltar to celebrate the country's national day celebrations.

Juan Watterson has been invited to join MPs from Westminster as the British overseas territory looks to strengthen its links with other smaller jurisdictions.

Tomorrow will commemorate Gibraltar's first sovereignty referendum of 1967 and is also the day its legislative council became representative and responsible for its internal affairs.

He says he has plans to learn and compare resources on the trip:
