EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous reenactment of the historic Battle of Hastings, which took place on Saturday, 15th October in 1066. The Bexhill Round Table Club from Sussex organized this grand event to commemorate the battle's 900th anniversary at the town of Battle in Sussex itself. Amateur actors, students, members of the Round Table Club, and other enthusiasts joined forces to recreate the clash between King Harold of England and William of Normandy (also known as William the Conqueror). In this particular scene frozen in time by TopFoto. co. uk, we witness an intense confrontation between King Harold portrayed by Alan Livermore from Bexhill and mounted William of Normandy played by Charles Godwin Durn from Hastings. Clad in authentic chain mail armor with war axes held high, these dedicated performers bring history back to life. To enhance the atmosphere further, additional spectacles were presented during this commemorative event. An archery contest pitted English against French archers while jousting combats enthralled spectators. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured during a different era - specifically 1966 - it serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since that fateful day in 1066 when England was forever changed through conquest; its impact continues to resonate through time.
