A tribute to Norfolk's greatest hero

It is more than two centuries since Norfolk-born Horatio Nelson earned his place in history with his victory and death at the Battle of Cape Trafalgar.

But his life and times were celebrated in the Nelson Decade which culminated in 2005, the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar.

Born at Burnham Thorpe - he called it 'dear, dear, Burnham' in 1758 - Nelson once said: 'I am myself a Norfolk man... and glory in being so.'

Here we pay tribute to Norfolk's own hero, Horatio Nelson, with features on his life, his passionate relationship with Lady Emma Hamilton, his battles and his county of Norfolk.
