A memorial service was held in June 2010 at Trondenes Church to mark the 70th anniversary of the sinking of HMS Acasta, HMS Ardent and HMS Glorious. After the service the plaque was unveiled in the presence of relatives, representatives of both the Royal Navy and Royal Norwegian Navy, British Embassy and local dignitaries.
