The island was discovered in 1819 and became part of a British colony in 1915.
Tuvalu was granted independence from Kiribati, the former Gilbert Islands, in 1975, and is now a constitutional monarchy.
Today, Funafuti is city with a peaceful atmosphere and an estimated population of 4.000.
It is also the centre of government and commercial development.
