EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the enchanting grounds of Eridge Castle in Sussex. The scene is set for a grand jousting display, as four majestic horses stand proudly in line, ready to showcase their strength and grace. This extraordinary event is part of the momentous celebrations commemorating the 900th anniversary of the historic Battle of Hastings. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice two prominent figures amidst this medieval spectacle. On the left, mounted on his noble steed, is Dr Christopher Woodard - Master of the Horse. His presence exudes authority and expertise as he prepares himself for an exhilarating performance. On the right stands Lady Vivian Lillingstoe, portraying none other than The Queen herself with regal elegance. The knights' armor gleams under sunlight filtering through ancient trees while their squires attend dutifully by their side. Adorned with chain mail and armed with lances and shields, these valiant actors embody chivalry at its finest. This monochrome photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also transports us into a world where honor and bravery reign supreme. It serves as a reminder that even in modern times like 1966 when this picture was taken; traditions from centuries past continue to captivate our imagination.
