nelsonOrganised by the Deal and Walmer Branch, a Service is held to commemorate Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson’s famous victory over the combined French and Spanish fleet in 1805 off the southwest coast of Spain. A battle in which he, unfortunately, was killed by a shot fired by a French marksman.

Held at St Andrew's church in Deal, the Service is preceded by a parade and followed by the laying of wreaths at the Memorial Cross outside the Church. It is attended by a number of dignataries from the local area.
