around Greenwich and after a quick mosey round The Observatory and the Naval College we ended up in The National Maritime Museum. The boys were very happy looking at swords, pistols, canon balls and old maps of London. When we went upstairs to The Nelson Room I spotted a very fine Admiral's jacket, wandered up and spotted a hole in the shoulder... the bullet hole made when a French sniper fired the shot that killed Nelson. The actual jacket he was wearing. I was struck tearful for a moment and the teenaged boys looked embarrassed.
