Without any disrespect to the content of your new site's VR or of your
gallery, can I point out in the interests of accuracy of museum
scholarship that Nelson's full designation is Admiral Lord Nelson not
Lord Admiral..... - assuming it's the Nelson whose statue stands aloft
in Trafalgar Square.  Similarly, for example, Field-Marshal Viscount
Montgomery of Alamein etc.  Whilst the continuation of our honours
system and the House of Lords is up for refreshing debate, we have to
accept the given protocols when it comes to historical references!
