'England expects that every man will do his duty.'- Horatio Nelson

It is our duty to make sure that the bicentennial anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Trafalgar and Admiral Lord Nelson do justice to England's greatest sailor.

In 1805 Nelson said "England expects".

In 2005 Dame Ellen MacArthur delivered - the fastest single handed non-stop circumnavigation of the world, beating the French recordholder.

TWO - NIL

Councils across the country are wary of celebrations upsetting the French.
** Battle must not 'bash' French **
A bicentenary celebration of the Battle of Trafalgar will tone down British victory so as not to offend France and Spain, sponsors say.
Can you believe this?
We say "RULE BRITANIA, wear your commemorative shirt with PRIDE"

Admiral Lord Nelson

Matched against the combined naval strength of Spain and France, Admiral Lord Nelson prevented the invasion of Great Britain.

We would go further, make Trafalgar Day a Public Holiday and rename the Spinaker Tower in Portsmouth, the Nelson Tower.

It is our Duty

Great Britain has a tremendous history and we have a duty to honour our great heroes, such as Nelson, Wellington and Churchill.
