Commemorations of the 200th anniversary of the Battle at Waterloo have been taking place at the battlefield in Belgium. Not only was there a re-enactment of the battle but there was also an interpretation of the journey taken by Major Harry Percy and Commander James White RN carrying Wellington's report to the Prince Regent that the battle was won.
The horse drawn chaise travelled from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich to London where several more ceremonies and parades took place.
