Agnes Weston
Dame Agnes Elizabeth Weston, GBE (26 March 1840 – 23 October 1918), also known as Aggie Weston, was an English philanthropist noted for her work with the Royal Navy. For over twenty years, she lived and worked among the sailors of the Royal Navy. The result of her powerful influence is evidenced in the widespread reform which took place in the habits of hundreds of men to whom her name was a talisman for good. In her day, one man out of every six in the navy was a total abstainer. Weston's work included her monthly letters to sailors, "Ashore and Afloat", which she edited, and the "Sailors' Rests", which she established in Portsmouth. She was the first woman ever given a full ceremonial Royal Navy funeral.
