Hi Lara,
congratulations on the 1000th post, your website is great.
Yes I was there yesterday, and I’ve got some photos too.
I’m writting it up, and will be sending it shortly.
I live in London, and because of the study I’m doing on Henry, I’ve been to most of the events, but I’ve been so caught up by my own obssessive research that hardly find the time to report on the events – I know, it is very selfish. To redeem myself, I’m sending you material from the tournament, and I also promise to write something about the launch of “The Lady in the Tower” Alison Weir’s event at the Tower of London, on the 9th Sept.
Apparently there is some new revelation as to the site where Anne was executed, as the beefeaters have been telling people for generations that the scafold as at the green, right in front on the St Peter of the Vincula Chapel, but after all Alison, found new evidence that this wasn’t the case… anyway it all be revealed on the night!
best wishes
Cool, thanks for the write-up! I look forward to hearing about the Weir book launch. Re: the execution spot – I’m guessing she writes about the recent research done by the curators of the Tower (which was featured in a documentary from a couple of years ago, which was where I first heard about it). If I remember correctly, they put it at a spot in front of the Waterloo barracks.
Hi Lara,
yes, you must be right, I’ll tell you for sure after the event. I wonder why the beefeaters have continued to tell everyone that the green was the relevant site!
