It is the Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar ,which saw a great English victory, but also the death of Admiral Lord Nelson.
"Trafalgar Day is the proudest day in the calendar of the Royal Navy and the ceremony on board Victory is a particularly poignant one as we remember this most famous of victories, but also remember our most celebrated naval leader and those who fell with him.
"It is a privilege to be able to mark this occasion alongside our new Second Sea Lord, Vice Admiral Steel."

England expects every man to do his duty.​
 
Proud to be a member of one of Lord Nelson's orders. He fell with his four order stars on his uniform.
