600th Anniversary

Today is the 600th anniversary of the English Victory at the Battle of Agincourt



I managed to visit the battle site a decade or so ago

In December we will be visiting London and am looking forward to seeing this display:

    1. Might be a MK II Brian Blessed in the background?

    2. Actually, that is the original Mk 1 version - and he steals the show in this movie in my opinion.
      If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!
