Trafalgar Day is the celebration of the victory won by the Royal Navy commanded by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson over the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. The formation of the Navy League in 1894 gave added impetus to the movement to recognise Nelson’s legacy and grand celebrations were held in Trafalgar Square on Trafalgar Day 1896.
