PHOTOS OF THE TRAFALGAR DAY PARADE
The parade celebrates Lord Nelson’s
famous victory over the Franco-Spanish fleet at Cape Trafalgar on 21 October
1805. This is thought to have been the turning point in the campaign
against Napolean. In his moment of triumph, Nelson was shot on the quarterdeck
of his flagshipVictory by a sniper and bled to death soon afterwards.
His body was brought back to Britain preserved in a barrel of brandy.
