Thousands of people have turned out to watch a re-enactment of one of the most famous battles in history.
More than 600 soldiers clashed in a remake of the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex on Saturday.

Visitors were able to step into Norman and Saxon encampments to learn about life in an 11th century army and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the battlefield.

Events manager Diana Evans said: “This event is always incredibly popular, it’s the opportunity to relive the most important battle in English history and experience what it would have been like on the battlefield for the Saxon and Norman soldiers.”
