Many towns and cities held mock funerals and presented hundreds of eulogies to honor their fallen hero. When the news of this death reached Europe, the British fleet paid tribute to his memory, and Napoleon ordered ten days of mourning." **Video** media type="youtube" key="7XZXYbhLI2M" width="560" height="315" align="center"
