To mark Trafalgar Day on Saturday (21 October) a group of Putney naval enthusiasts have held a breakfast in honour of Admiral Nelson.
Taking the River Bus, the five including Hugh Thompson started off at Battersea Power Station ending up in the Dukes Head.
Masks purchased from the National Portrait Gallery were worn.
Diana Matha said, “It’s so good to be in touch with your history and this is so much fun.”
Caro Monty aded, “It’s so good to be connected with one’s history and for me it’s an excuse to get up earlier.”
A group of local residents have been celebrating the day for over two decades even, as far as the regulations allowed, through the pandemic.
Various venues have been visited over that time with the event traditionally held in pubs in Smithfield or Fleet Street.
