Britain flaunts triumph of Waterloo in heart of Euroland

It was an audacious and cunning victory that put paid to French ambitions for a European superstate. Nearly two centuries later, British diplomats in Brussels are flaunting the Duke of Wellington’s triumph at the Battle of Waterloo, as David Cameron seeks to wrest back powers from the European Union. The offices of the UK Representation to the EU are exhibiting a series of works celebrating the life of the Iron Duke in the run-up to the 200th anniversary of the battle in June next year.
