The Duke of Wellington a life of service

by Brigadier Michael Aris CBE DL and Richard Bennett DL

Join us to hear the extraordinary life of His Grace the 1st Duke of Wellington, from his birth in 1769 to his state funeral in 1852. Inevitably the story includes conflict in India, the Peninsula War and of course at Waterloo. After what the Duke hoped “would be my last battle” we will follow his political life, his varied appointments and his role as an elder statesman, not forgetting his fondness for the company of beautiful women. Finally, we will hear Queen Victoria’s reflections on the Great Duke in her diary.
