The day London froze. Inspired by and made a reality by 100???s of volunteers. At exactly 3:30pm on a secret cue, almost everyone in the square froze. The few bewildered tourists didn???t know what was happening. For 5 minutes the participants held their positions, and then magically everyone unfroze.

Tomorrow night at the plush Ardencote Manor Country Hotel in Claverdon, Warwickshire, the great and the bad who support the British National Party through its Trafalgar Club dining club will tuck into a meal that they hope will be better than the stale sandwiches they were fed last year. For the minimum £180 a year they contribute to the club, as well as their invitation to the annual dinner and speech from Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, men receive a tie and women a "personalised organiser file", though only in the first year. Perhaps in the second year they hand out mugs engraved with the words: "The BNP expects every mug to throw away their money to keep the leader and his cabal in the style to which they have become accustomed". Griffin, fresh from being rescued from an angry crowd in the East Midlands after the police threatened to arrest his private army of security men if they as much as growled at anyone, will soon be jetting off to the USA on a speaking tour of universities.

With the 202nd anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar coming later this week, it’s a good time to have another look at one of the finest, large-scale modern maritime paintings. The picture is Steven Dews’ Battle of Trafalgar painted over 7 years with the aid of several maritime museum curators to be released in 2005 for the 200th anniversary of this momentous battle. The original oil painting made £95,000 at Bonham’s auction in their famoust London auction rooms. Since then, series of fabulous prints has been on sale and Artists Harbour is proud to say that we have been one of the most successful sellers of the large canvas print,1676mm x 1016mm(66-inches by 40-inches) which effectively from a distance of 1 metre gives you a £100,000 picture for around £1,000. We accompany the large print with three historic pictures that illuminate the wonderful Dews canvas. (more…) Share This

The huge Faro de Trafalgar nude beach is composed of several kilometers of pale sand and offers many wide open spaces for nude sunbathing. There is a car park near the lighthouse which is about 2km... A nude beach is a beach where the users generally wear no clothing. If clothing is optional then, to emphasize that, also the terms clothing-optional beach and free beach are used. It is one of the most common and traditional forms of public nudity. A nude beach should not be confused with a topfree beach or topless beach, where upper body clothing is not required for women or men, although a swimming costume covering the genitals is required for both men and women.

Nelson: “Order the signal, Hardy.” Hardy: “Aye, aye sir.” Nelson: “Hold on, that’s not what I gave to the signal officer.
