Re-enactment Image, from iFlodden.
500 years ago, right now as I sit with an Earl Grey a few miles from Twyzell Bridge, Tom Fleck crossed this bridge in the rain. The bridge was just two years old in 1513. The vanguard of the English army crossed the river Till on the bridge. At four oclock this afternoon they will be under the artillery of King James IV Scottish troops arranged along the crest of Branxton Hill and Flodden Field will begin.

1513 fusion 
That is a stunningly good photograph in every respect. A competition winner I think.
So, not as some think a N Yorks march in protest against the bedroom tax! (A mark of how far we have all come – in 1513 they may not have had a bedroom at all.)
I thought it stunning also. The camera has captured movement and colour so well. It is from the iFlodden site.
Savour the bedroom whilst ye may – with climate change we might become nomads.
Oh, I see you with your helmet on!! 🙂

It’s likely that some of our lot were there.
I wondered if you were present as I watched the news item on the anniversary at lunchtime today.
