Cadiz Seagull
Grey bearded old man
One of the most important days in British history. A totally overwhelming victory signalling the start of Britain as a world power, the end of Spain as a world power, and the beginning of the end for Napoleon.
And while all the celebrations are going on in Britain we shouldn't forget that thousands of people lost their lives.
And it all happened just down the road from me! I'll be down on the beach there later today but I'm not sure there will be a lot going on. There are church services throughout Spain and a military parade in Cadiz but it's pretty low key here as you might expect. Much more about remembering the thousands who died.
A hugely important anniversary if you are British - Britain today would be very different had Nelson not been such a brilliant Admiral. After Trafalgar nobody dared to take on the Brits for 109 years until the Kaiser had a go - and we all know what happened to him!
