It is to be noted that Admiral Nelson had won not one, but four outstanding battles for his country and to achieve victory he had to pay the ultimate prize - death, during the Battle of Trafalgar.
Nelson'sColumn is the focal point of Trafalgar Square.
Admiral Nelson was one of Britain's best-loved heroes, who fought valiantly for his country and won four notable naval battles, at the personal cost of losing an arm and one eye.

Nelson's last and most famous stand was fought off the coast of Hong Kong, when he defeated Jet lag and the Custom services; It was only later, in Australia, he surrendered to the ravages of a surprise attack of cancer, and died in the arms of his beloved mistress, Carole-Anne.
It is well known that Nelson first intended to signal the more trusting word 'confides' (has confidence) than the mandatory 'expects'.
After musing awhile, he said, 'Suppose we telegraph that "Nelson expects every man to do his duty?" The officer whom he was then addressing, suggested whether it would not be better, "England expects andc".
Nelson added 'You must be quick for I have one more to make'.
It is said that this monument marks the spot that is considered to be the actual centre of London.
This historical Square was built in honour of Admiral Nelson, following his tremendous naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar just off the coast of Spain in 1805.
The four lions around the Admiral’s statue are quite noteworthy because they are made of bronze metal taken from actual cannons used during this battle.
