The scene on the Orlop deck where Nelson died has been stripped back to just a lantern on the bare deck.

Shiver me timbers - HMS Victory get's a dramatic makeover...its baby blue paint, a lovely new Axminster carpet, and a futon for Nelson.

Admiral Lord Nelson's famous flagship has undergone a remarkable makeover that includes baby blue painted walls and a futon bed, after historians researched exactly how it looked at Trafalgar.

Gone is the heavily varnished timber and Victorian wooden furniture that made the Great Cabin a dark and dingy place.

Instead conservationists have adopted a less-is-more approach to interior design and the place where Britain's most famous sailor slept, ate and relaxed has become a more light and airy space.
