Description
Royal Garrison Church in Old Portsmouth was constructed c. 1212 as part of a hospital complex. Although the nave was badly damaged in a 1941 fire-bomb raid on Portsmouth, the chancel remains roofed and furnished.
The statue, Nelson's Prayer, faithfully portrays Lord Nelson in the uniform he wore when Leaving Portsmouth for Trafalgar.
It is on the spot that Nelson passed over on 14th September 1805 and faces the beach where he embarked for HMS Victory.
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bront�, KB (29 September 1758 � 21 October 1805) was a flag officer famous for his service in the Royal Navy, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was noted for his inspirational leadership and superb grasp of strategy and unconventional tactics, which resulted in a number of decisive naval victories. He was wounded several times in combat, losing one arm and the sight in one eye. Of his several victories, the best known and most notable was the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during which he was shot and killed.
NELSON'S PRAYER
MAY THE GREAT GOD WHOM I WORSHIP GRANT TO MY COUNTRY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF EUROPE IN GENERAL A GREAT AND GLORIOUS VICTORY AND MAY NO MISCONDUCT IN ANY ONE TARNISH IT-AND MAY HUMANITY AFTER VICTORY BE THE PREDOMINANT FEATURE IN THE BRITISH FLEET. FOR MYSELF INDIVIDUALLY I COMMIT MY LIFE TO HIM THAT MADE ME AND MAY HIS BLESSING ALIGHT ON MY ENDEAVOURS FOR SERVING MY COUNTRY FAITHFULLY. TO HIM I RESIGN MYSELF AND THE JUST CAUSE WHICH IT IS ENTRUSTED TO ME TO DEFEND
AMEN.AMEN.AMEN.
