International Fleet Review (Trafalgar 200) onboard HMS Ocean.Pictured is an Apache coming in to land onboard HMS Ocean
Royal Navy Celebrate Trafalgar Bicentennial Year
In this Trafalgar bicentennial year, the Royal Navy will be at the heart of the SeaBritain 2005 programme and will be marking the occasion with a series of major public events in June/July and October. The programme is entitled ‘Trafalgar 200 Past Glories – Future Horizons’
The summer events in Portsmouth begin with the International Fleet Review in the Solent on 28th June. Some 35 nations will be in attendance, representing every continent. This will be the largest international gathering of vessels to be reviewed by Her Majesty the Queen and will include warships, tall ships, merchant ships and yachts – over 160 vessels in total. Her Majesty the Queen, The Lord High Admiral, will be reviewing The Fleet from HMS ENDURANCE and witnessing a steam past and sail past of 300 warships, tall ships and private yachts. There will also be a contemporary element of informality to this event given by the focus on youth. Over the period of the review around 3000 young people will have been afloat. In the evening there will be a Son et Lumière illustration of an early 19th century sea battle with state of the art lighting, pyrotechnics and sound effects, with big screen displays on land. This memorable and historic evening will finish with a spectacular fireworks display and lighting up of the Fleet. On the following day an International Drumhead Ceremony on Southsea Common will provide a more reflective occasion during which veterans of all maritime conflicts will commemorate the personal sacrifice of war. These events will all receive extensive TV and radio coverage.
The summer events will conclude with one of the largest outdoor events in Europe, a spectacular 4 day International Festival of the Sea in Portsmouth Naval Base, where ships from the International Fleet Review will be open to the public and hundreds of classic and working boats will be on view. Open from 10AM to10 PM, from 30 June to 3 July, the emphasis will be on fun for all, with hundreds of musicians, artists and entertainers providing a unique, lively, somewhat “marinated” and very exciting atmosphere. A range of dramatic live displays will showcase the Armed Forces of today and the future on every day of the festival.
October will see Trafalgar Night dinners in and around HMS Victory. On Sunday 23 October events will move to London with a morning Sea Cadet parade in Trafalgar Square, a national service of commemoration at St Paul’s at 3PM. Trafalgar Square will be the incomparable and inevitable culmination with a spectacular maritime experience with an entirely original celebration of our maritime heritage – Past, Present and Future – something the nation can remember for the next one hundred years.
