May Bank Holiday Civil War fun

So this is always a big weekend for the Civil War groups putting on displays on the Sunday and Monday. The Sealed Knot are at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire and the English Civil War Society are at Holmebrook Valley Country Park, Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Have fun if you are going. 'Have a care for cannon'...

Bethlen Gábor Hagyományőrség

From their Facebook page here. Found for me by Steve Stanley this group recreating Hungarian troops of the early 17thc are worth checking out. Not sure who took the photo - tell me and get full credit as it's a lovely siege scene.
