A few comments and images from another excellent, hot day at
the festival, with many of the
reenactors suffering from the heat during the and after the fight. As ever, I
found the living history at the camps the real jewel, with plenty of generous
and welcoming re-enactors.
There was a real international
feel this year with French, German and Belgium groups, as well as the Italian
flag throwers.
I was particularly
struck by the flag below, the five wounds of Christ, carried by a member of the Paston Household. It is good to see some religious as well as
heraldic imagery in use. More on this is latter posts.
