The Battle of Waterloo was fought 18 June 1815. A French army under Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition: an Anglo-led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, resulting in 41,000 casualties.

  • The portraits of Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie at the top of the Muses Stair below the glass octagonal lantern, in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), on 17th September 2017, in Whitehall, London, England. The royal portraits of Napoleon Empress Eugenie, were gifted to the East India Company in gratitude of its benefaction to the Paris Exhibition of 1855. The roof is an octagonal glass dome, graced by goddesses of plenty (canephora) and cherubs illustrating the Roman virtues. The main Foreign Office building is in King Charles Street, and was built by George Gilbert Scott in partnership with Matthew Digby Wyatt and completed in 1868 as part of the new block of government offices which included the India Office and later (1875) the Colonial and Home Offices. George Gilbert Scott was responsible for the overall classical design of these offices but he had an amicable partnership with Wyatt, the India Office’s Surveyor, who designed and built the interior of the India Office.

  • Standing near Hougemont Farm, Waterloo, Belgium, scene of some of the fiercest fighting on the battlefield on the day in 1815 when French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the (Iron) Duke of Wellington, we see the current Duke, Brigadier Arthur Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington, KG, LVO, OBE, MC, DL, FKC (born in Rome on 2nd July 1915). He is a British hereditory peer and a retired officer in the British Army. When he succeeded his father as Duke, he was known as Marquess Douro but is now styled His Grace The Duke of Wellington. Making an occasional visit to the battlefields, he stands on a raw winter's day on the very landscape where his ancestor's brave British men fought off a fierce French attack, the Duke gazes out over the rolling hills that proved the undoing of Napoleon and which changed the course of European history.

  • The Arch of Germanicus, an ancient Roman arch in Saintes, Charente-Maritime in France. It was built in 18 or 19AD by a rich citizen of the town (then known as Mediolanum Santonum), C. Julius Rufus, and dedicated to the emperor Tiberius, his son Drusus Julius Caesar, and his adoptive son Germanicus. It has two bays and was originally sited over the terminus of the Roman road from Lyon to Saintes. On the proposal of Prosper Mérimée in 1843 it was moved fifteen metres during works on quays along the river, and it was restored in 1851.

  • 30th Chief of the ancient clan MacLeod, Hugh MacLeod, 34, eats a hasty Saturday breakfast in his private flat at Dunvegan Castle, Maureen Byers on the north-west corner of the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. Dunvegan has been the clan's traditional stronghold and ancestral home for 800 years which makes it the longest inhabited family home in Scotland. Now a visitor centre and place of pilgrimage for MacLeods from all over the world, it houses medieval artefacts from when Scotland was a wild and warring nation against the English. It has survived clan battles, extremes of feast and famine and profound social, political and economic changes in the Highlands. Originally designed to keep people out, Dunvegan Castle was first opened to the public in 1933. Visitors include Sir Walter Scott, Dr Johnson, Queen Elizabeth II and Emperor Akihito.

  • An EU flag and the Prussian Eagle sit side-by-side, on 16th May 2000, in Frankfurt, Germany. The EU flag hangs limply alongside the old German world Prussian eagle near the balcony of Frankfurt's Rathaus or Town hall in historic Romerberg Square. The yellow stars formed into a circle of the European Union member states lie on a background of blue but the bronze green eagle harks back to a previous era of German politics and culture. The state of Prussia developed from the State of the Teutonic Order. The original flag of the Teutonic Knights had been a black cross on a white flag. Emperor Frederick II in 1229 granted them the right to use the black Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire.[citation needed] This "Prussian Eagle" remained the coats of arms of the successive Prussian states until 1947.

  • In Windsor Great Park's Long Walk across the landscape a hose gallops during a 3-day cross-country event, held annually on Her Majesty the Queens's property, on 16th June 1994, in London, England. The Long Walk was commenced by Charles II from 1680-1685 by planting a double avenue of elm trees. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public, the parkland is a popular recreation area for residents of the western London suburbs. The Copper Horse is a statue marking the end of the Long Walk at Snow Hill in Windsor Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. The walk begins at the George IV Gateway at Windsor Castle. The Copper Horse is a statue of George III on horseback, and is said to represent George as an emperor in the Roman tradition riding without stirrups, along the lines of the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius.

  • An artist is incongruously enclosed in roadworks barriers at the busy junction of Piccadilly Circus in London's West End. Painting with an easel and applying careful brush strokes amid the noise and chaos of this busy traffic junction in the capital. A young man walks past barely noticing the artist as he strides through the heart of London's west end. But on the youth's t-shirt is a modern interpretation (wearing glasses and apparently spitting liquid into a cup) of Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Man with a Coin of the Emperor Nero (Bernardo Bembo)" German-born artist Jan van Mimnelinghe (Hans Memling, c. 1435-94) was well known all over Europe. During his lifetime, he painted commissions not only for the Burgundian Dukes, but also for patrons in Germany, Austria, Venice, Florence and London.
