You must be the outright winner Bruce, what a great story clap

I remember fondly being invited up to the BRNC to celebrate Trafalgar night as a serving Marines guest and I'll never forget it, it was the year the SW Marines lost 30 of their guys in action and the role call chilled you to the marrow.
Banging head next morning mind.


So glad you were able to experience Trafalgar Night in a proper Royal Navy establishment with a Bootneck too, it is something to experience but the next morning can be tough (especially if you are Duty Officer). There are always the sombre moments which bring back the harsh reality of battle.
