Show some respect please. Am on the Queen Mary 2 out of NY today and the mainbrace was spliced at noon "To the immortal memory". Adm (Retd) Tony Norman is on board and he gave a most entertaining tribute to the great man and we had a snifter afterwards. Nelson changed the course of history for quite some time after Trafalgar. The irony is that more British sailors lost their lives in the storm that followed than in the battle itself.
