I felt incredibly privileged to be invited as gues I felt incredibly privileged to be invited as guest of honour to give the after dinner speech on Trafalgar night at HMS Nelson this week. The wardroom is absolutely beautiful and it was wonderful to see the paintings by Wylie. The Chesapeake and Shannon are featured alongside battles such as the Glorious First of June, Copenhagen and of course Trafalgar. Above the painting of Trafalgar you can see Horatio Nelson's coat of arms (one for you @artyjamie1746) and the ceiling was designed to look like an upturned hull. I have visited the wardroom before, for a Trafalgar night with The 1805 Club but it was great to see it in daylight, and to be hosted by the Royal Navy. I know a few people were there who follow me on here so thank you for listening to me go on about Nelson for half an hour, and of course for being so raucous at the point we beat the Spanish and the French. I believe I only took two round shot to the face at dinner πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ’£
Today is of course Trafalgar Day. Commemorating a Today is of course Trafalgar Day. Commemorating a British victory over the combined Franco-spanish Fleet on 21st October 1805. A busy few days of naval nerding ahead. Giving a Trafalgar night speech in the wardroom at HMS Nelson this evening, filming at the National Museum of the Royal Navy tomorrow and then doing some work with the World of Warships team next week βš“
