We remember not only the historic victory, but also the values Nelson embodied — duty, responsibility, and sacrifice. As we face modern challenges, the example set in 1805 still speaks to all who serve afloat and ashore. “England expects that every man will do his duty.”

Me standing on a capstan in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Behind me is the stern of HMS Victory in her dry dock. In the background is Victory Jetty, part of HM Naval Base Portsmouth. We can see the forward and central superstructures of a Type 23 frigate, the predominantly white funnel badge confirming her to be HMS Portland. It is mostly cloudy but the sun is coming through, low in the sky, behind the two ships.
To Royal Navy and Royal Marines sailors past and present, whether you are at sea, at the wall or ashore tonight: thank you for your service to the nation. It's appreciated. Fair winds and following seas.

Me on the planked upper deck of an old but well-cared-for wooden warship. In front of me is a brass plaque reading "Here Nelson fell, 21st Oct 1805". Behind me are two cannons, the gunwhale and the inside of the structure that is protecting this part of the ship from the weather.
To the immortal memory.

I was brought up with a model of the Victory in the house which looked quite old in the 1950’s
Later nobody in the family wanted it & my mother contacted Historic Chatham & it was donated there
It was originally made by a friend of an aunt

“The dead, thrown back as they fell, lay along the middle of the decks in heaps, and the shot, passing through these, had frightfully mangled the bodies. . . . More than four hundred had been killed and wounded, of whom an extraordinary proportion had lost their heads.” #TrafalgarDay
'Here Nelson Fell 21st October 1805', a floor plaque on the deck of HMS Victory, now permanently berthed at Portsmouth. In the words of the immortal Spike Milligan, 'I'm not surprised, I nearly tripped over it myself'.
