  • A statue of the French Imperial Eagle, still watching over the battlefield exhibitions of the Panorama and Lion's Mound at the Waterloo battlefield, on 25th March 2017, at Waterloo, Belgium. The French Imperial Eagle refers to the figure of an eagle on a staff carried into battle as a standard by the Grande Armée of Napoleon I during the Napoleonic Wars. Although they were presented with regimental colours, the regiments of Napoleon I tended to carry at their head the imperial eagle. Waterloo was fought  on 18 June 1815 between a French army under Napoleon Bonaparte,  defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition: an Anglo-led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, resulting in 41,000 casualties.

  • The stern of Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory at Portsmouth. We look up at the rear of Britain's most famous warship from the Napoleonic war era and see the windows of Nelson's cabins and rooms - the location where the battle of Trafalgar was planned and where Nelson died on that day in 1805. Victory took Nelson's body to England where, after lying in state at Greenwich, he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral on 6 January 1806..HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. After Trafalgar, she served as a harbour ship, moved in 1922  to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She is the flagship of the First Sea Lord and is the oldest naval ship still in commission

  • An elderly lady is helped up from a sitting position near the statue of US President George Washington in London's Trafalgar Square. It might be a relative who holds the frail woman by her left arm as she struggles to get upright, despite the use of a walking stick. On the brochure she is holding, is the text relating to the upcoming 2012 Olympics. The statue of George Washington is a replica of a work by Jean-Antoine Houdon, to the north east corner of the Square that commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars over France.

The main Foreign Office building is in King Charles Street, and was built by George Gilbert Scott in partnership with Matthew Digby Wyatt and completed in 1868 as part of the new block of government offices which included the India Office and later (1875) the Colonial and Home Offices. George Gilbert Scott was responsible for the overall classical design of these offices but he had an amicable partnership with Wyatt, the India Office’s Surveyor, who designed and built the interior of the India Office.

  • The landscape of fields and farming land including La Haye Sainte farm, the location of the Battle of Waterloo, on 25th March 2017, at Waterloo, Belgium. La Haye Sainte has changed very little since it played a crucial part in the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815.<br />
It was defended by about 400 British and German troops, hopelessly outnumbered by attacking French but held out until the late afternoon when they retired because their ammunition had run out. If Napoleon Bonaparte's army had captured La Haye Sainte earlier in the day, almost certainly he would have broken through the allied centre and defeated the Duke of Wellington's army. The Battle of Waterloo was fought on 18 June 1815.

  • Standing near Hougemont Farm, Waterloo, Belgium, scene of some of the fiercest fighting on the battlefield on the day in 1815 when French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the (Iron) Duke of Wellington, we see the current Duke, Brigadier Arthur Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington, KG, LVO, OBE, MC, DL, FKC (born in Rome on 2nd July 1915). He is a British hereditory peer and a retired officer in the British Army. When he succeeded his father as Duke, he was known as Marquess Douro but is now styled His Grace The Duke of Wellington. Making an occasional visit to the battlefields, he stands on a raw winter's day on the very landscape where his ancestor's brave British men fought off a fierce French attack, the Duke gazes out over the rolling hills that proved the undoing of Napoleon and which changed the course of European history.
