b"Naval commander Horatio Nelson became the first non-Royal to receive a full British state funeral on 9th January, 1806, when tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of London to pay tribute to their fallen hero - including, surprisingly, his defeated counterpart, French admiral Pierre-Charles de Villeneuve.\\xa0\\nThe anticipation for the burial was fuelled by the nationalistic fervour that developed during the two months it took from news of Nelson\\u2019s death at the Battle of Trafalgar to his body arriving back in Britain.\\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly pick apart \\u2018Kiss Me Hardy\\u2019; explain how it was his earlier success at the Battle of the Nile that cemented his reputation as a household name; and pore over his commemorative funeral merch, from Union flags to anchor earrings\\u2026\\nFurther Reading:\\n\\u2022 \\u2018Nelson's funeral\\u2019 (Royal Museums Greenwich): https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/nelsons-funeral\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\u2019Horatio Nelson: Britain\\u2019s Famous Admiral\\u2019 (The Collector, 2021): https://www.thecollector.com/horatio-nelson-britain-famous-admiral/\\n\\u2022 \\u20181805: The Battle That Shattered Napoleon's Invasion Plans\\u2019 (Timeline, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-po6WQ-wDd0\\nLove the show?
