In 1815 the Duke of Wellington was the man everybody wanted to know about, though even before Waterloo his face had already been glazed onto plates and China tea services, now he had defeated Napoleon and his place in history was secure and so was his celebrity.

I have a Waterloo teapot. I’ve had it for years, like most things, stuck in a box in the garage. (I have a similar English Civil War one too) Cheap enough, though look well-made, and worth the money. They make a nice Waterloo souvenir, but I don’t know if they are still manufactured.

I have nothing like that except for a Charles & Di wedding mug – the only tasteful one that was sold! God knows what made me buy it, though. Must have broken yet another mug at the time and it was all I could find round the corner.
