Everybody who visits the capital of Great Britain tries to get to Trafalgar Square which is situated in the centre of London. This beautiful place was called Trafalgar Square to remember the date of the 21st of October 1805 when the English ships under Admiral Nelson destroyed the ships of France and Spain. It happened at sea in the Spanish waters at Trafalgar. Nelson himself lost his life in that battle and died on the ship. But he was able to hear the news about his great victory.
In the centre of Trafalgar Square in London you can see a tall column with a figure of Admiral Nelson on it. Admiral Nelson, the most famous admiral in British history, became a national hero winning several battles during the war with France. In those battles he lost his right arm and his right eye. He was a very gifted, clever and brave officer, and his victories helped Britain to save the country from Napoleon.
