The memorial plaque to the sailors from Sunderland who died at the battle of Trafalgar has just been restored. It's in the square of 'alms' houses built shortly after the battle, it has alway's been a well kept memorial to our brave seamen and allong with the 'War' memorial and biggest 'rememberance day' parade outside London, I'm quite proud that my city has alway's shown the greatest respect for our fighting forces.

That's nice, it would be an honour to live in Trafalgar Square.

That's my grandson, johnny, he's seven and had never heard of Nelson till I started my 'Victory' build, my son's and daughter are pretty much ignorant on the subject as well, and they are all in their 20's! obviously not politically correct to teach such thing's at school these day's! How can kid's be proud of their country if they don't know it's history?Mad Glare
