British Empire end
The year the British Empire ended is cited as 1997, but there are still colonial possessions in the form of
British Overseas Territories. I assume the 1997 references the
hand over of Hong Kong, however all this amounts to is a loss of 1 of the Overseas Territories.
It's cited in the
British Empire article: 'The handover ceremony in 1997 marked for many,[210] including Charles, Prince of Wales,[211] who was in attendance, "the end of Empire".[203][212]' See the associated references.

It looks more like a euphemism for the Hong Kong handover and loss of most of the important ones, and not an actual end. Literally, it didn't end, since there are still colonial possessions. Particularly, the Falklands are a sign the Empire is still extant.
