Trafalgar Weekend events
Thousands of people throughout the UK are expected to be involved in
this month's Battle of Trafalgar bicentenary celebrations over the
anniversary weekend.
As well as a host of formal activities, chiefly in London and Lord
Nelson's home port of Portsmouth, there will be thousands of
small-scale and private events, ranging from celebratory breakfasts to
parades, concerts and fireworks spectaculars.

But ...
Despite the tax-payers footing the bills - most of the events are
private especially those sponsored by the Royal Navy - only a few are
actually open to the public.
More details are supposed to be on the Trafalgar Weekend website -
http://www.trafalgarweekend.co.uk/
(but there are very few events
listed, in fact none, zero, zilch).
Other events are mentioned at - http://www.trafalgar200.com/
However
the small no. of tickets for the various events were snapped up months
ago. A huge majority of the tax-paying public once again are left out.
