"I was there on R&R. One of the best days of my life."

I can well imagine!  It sounds like an absolutely spectacular event.  From the article:

 

"Thousands lined the river to follow the re-enactment of Admiral Lord Nelson's funeral procession.

Organiser Sea Britain 2005 said the crowds were larger than anticipated."

 

If you have any special stories or photographs of the event or of your time there you are of course entirely welcome to post them here for all to enjoy.

Crowds watch from ashore as a re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar takes place.
