Message from Sir Peter Abbott, RNM Chairman

I am delighted to tell you that Her Majesty the Queen has graciously approved the Navy Board’s recommendation that Colin should be appointed to the rank of Honorary Captain in the Royal Naval Reverse.

This is a very singular honour and greatly deserved. Over the years Colin has done so much to the benefit of the RN but, in particular, his work in connection with the bicentenary of Trafalgar needed public recognition and this appointment goes some way to achieve that.

It will be most appropriate for Colin to be able to wear the uniform of an RN Captain in connection with the RN Museum - and at other times as he sees fit!

I am sure you will agree that this is wonderful news and will want to join me in offering Colin our very warmest congratulations.

With best wishes

Admiral Sir Peter Abbott
