Chairmans dispatch | The 1805 Club

Beyond Trafalgar

Issue number: 15 – March 2006 (KA 15)

At the close of my last Dispatch I left you all to savour the unscripted words of Sir Isaac Heard, Garter Knight at Arms, as Nelson’s coffin was lowered into the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral: ‘The Hero, who in the moment of Victory, fell covered with Immortal glory’.

The Club’s special service and ‘funeral’ Evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral on 9 January 2006 quite remarkably captured the spirit of these words. One club member concluded that it had been “a spectacular event for The 1805 Club”. I hope that all of you who were lucky enough to be there would agree. It has undoubtedly enhanced the Club’s status and prestige and even the cathedral was taken aback by the power of the occasion.
