  Hi Sophia, yes, many people have pets. The government ANRD section has a Veterinary department and in their words: "We have cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys as well as dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs and of course the giant tortoises at Plantation to look after." You will find information about bringing pets to the island at the top of this page, as well as useful links: sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh/useful-information/ We did a story on our blog in early 2017 about 'Dusty's dozen.' Twelve puppies belonging to the then governor's dog, Dusty. whatthesaintsdidnext.com/teaching-new-dogs-old-tricks/ Thanks for visiting our channel. All the best from St Helena 😊

  Hi guys just have a couple of questions I would like to know: 1.Do you guys celebrate St Patrick’s Day just Like The Uk and Ireland. 2.What Sort of TV Channels do you guys have 3.Do you guys think you could have uk tv channels in the future like ITV and Virgin Media One.

  Hi RTV, thanks for the interest in St Helena. In answer to your questions: 1. No, not really, but if there are Irish people on island they may sometimes organise small, private celebration events. 2. Sure South Atlantic provide a TV service, rebroadcasting channels from MNET in South Africa. You can see the packages here: www.sure.co.sh/television/tv-channels/ 3. So we have the channels already as listed above. Also, since internet improved in October 2023, many people are now able to stream certain channels online. Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by our channel. All the best from St Helena 👍😊

  Not anymore. Although he died on St Helena in 1821 and was buried here, his body was exhumed and removed to Les Invalides in Paris, France, in 1840. However, his tomb on St Helena and Longwood House where he was held captive are now both French property and well maintained as museum attractions.

  Yes, Napoleon's body is now in Les Invalides, Paris. This video shows a ceremony on St Helena, at The Tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, on 15 October 2015, exactly 200 years since the Frenchman arrived on the island. It was to mark a significant moment in the island's history along with French dignitaries, the Island's Governor and members of the public. There is also an annual ceremony held on 5 May at The Tomb to commemorate Napoleon's death.

There have been a couple of RAF C-17 landings since this was filmed, so the 757 no longer holds the title of largest aircraft to land at St Helena.

  Hi Keith, thanks for checking out our channel and your comment. As far as we understand, Napoleon was not very impressed with St Helena and did not enjoy living (being held) in Longwood. However, when he first arrived on the island, Longwood House was not yet ready, so he spent the first two months living at The Briars. The cool climate and quiet location there suited the emperor. He particularly enjoyed the company of his hosts, the Balcombes, and strolling the surrounding gardens. His time at the Briars is said to be his happiest on St Helena. whatthesaintsdidnext.com/the-napoleon-st-helena-history-remembered-200-years-on/ “The only good thing about St Helena is the coffee,” Napoleon supposedly proclaimed. He was an avid coffee lover and a great fan of the island’s green-tipped Bourbon Arabica beans.

There remain, unfortunately, the possibility of delays and postponements due to unfavourable weather at St Helena, which as we saw during 2023, can happen at any time of the year.

  Hi @JohnPanto, yes, unfortunately the island has failed to implement a practical and effective public transport system so private vehicles have become essential for getting around. Although the island's footprint is quite small, (47 sq miles) the terrain is all mountainous, which makes walking or cycling a challenging way to get around. Although Jamestown looks particularly congested during working hours on weekdays, elsewhere on the island is quite different and traffic volumes are very low.
