A Friends of Sir Harry Presentation

Please join us for a fascinating talk by Phillip St Lawrence, a dynamic and acclaimed speaker, at the McLellan Hall Lymington Community Centre Tuesday on the 15th of November 6.30 pm for 7.00 pm

It is early spring 1801 and Great Britain is intent upon neutralising Scandinavian and Russian support for Napoleon. Copenhagen is well defended and the attack Nelson plans is audacious, the assault both riveting and tense. When Admiral Parker signals him to withdraw Nelson makes perhaps the most famous act of insubordination in history, determined to secure the victory! ‘Simply captivating!’

Philip St Lawrence is a professional speaker who specializes in ‘bringing history alive’ through his various Talks. Following his appearance at the Chalke Valley History Festival in 2021, Philip’s captivating performances are now in high demand consistently receiving excellent reviews. His recent appearances aboard the Queen Elizabeth, as at other venues, have won numerous plaudits! (‘Audiences were enthralled by his delivery and subject matter’…. Cunard voyage report)
