		Nelson’s Pillar stood staunchly in the middle of O’Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland.
		The Irish Free State that rules Ireland since the Easter Rising of the 1920s left Nelson's Pillar as it was, citing cost as a reason not to remove it when there was claimed affront to its presence in Ireland, a symbol of past indignities.
		On the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising on March 8, 1966, Nelson’s Pillar was destroyed in an explosion that is blamed on or claimed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

		Nelson's Pillar was indeed a long-time fixture in Dublin, and if the Spire eventually commands such affection it will have been deemed a huge success.
		It was perhaps Dublins most famous landmark for 158 years, from the time the foundation stone was laid, on the 15th February 1808, up to the time it was blown in half by the IRA on 8th March,1966, at 1:27am.

		The pillar is hollow and 217 spiral steps on the inside lead upwards to a splendid view out across the North Sea.

		Nelson of course was a made man who had come up through the ranks the hard way, in other words he had to prove himself to the upper class snobs and never had a commission or promotion handed to him on a plate!
		Nelson's ability to devise his revolutionary battle plan depended on the development of a new range of signal flags offering far greater flexibility in passing information from the flag ship to the others in the fleet on a moment by moment basis.
		Nelson was 5foot 6 inches or 1.68meters tall, a calculation based on examination of his uniform after death.

		The Pillar, of course, was Nelson's Pillar in the heart of the city in the middle of O'Connell Street, formerly Sackville Street, which hosted a monument to Daniel O'Connell at one end, and a monument to Charles Stewart Parnell at the other.
		Thirty-seven years ago the Pillar, upon which stood the one-eyed Nelson, hero of Trafalgar, a famous British naval victory, was blown up, and the mystery of its missing head remains just that, a mystery, something like Nearly Headless Nick in a Harry Potter tale.
		After decades of debate the city fathers decided to hold a competition to replace the Pillar with a suitable commemoration of the arrival of the third millennium.
