Leeds Royal Armouries

Aunty Sue taking it easy as Mummy knits a suit of Armour

King Lucy VIII

Queen Lucy

Take that Fritz!

Fits like a glove

This young chap explains what it is like to be a foot soldier

Lucy is captivated by the story

She can't wait to get her mitts on his flintlock

Lucy requires a bit of Uncky Kev assistance to pull back a bow that simulates the genuine effort required to draw a long bow. Or is it the other way round?

Henry VIII looks down on one of his loyal knights


The horned helmet was part of a gift from the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I to King Henry VIII of England.
  and Dates from 1514. It's bonkers.

Yes - that fits fine thanks. Where is the enemy at?

This funny glove locks onto a sword to stop you dropping it in the heat of battle.

You see all sorts of strange things in Leeds town centre

The main entrance

Historically accurate Knight's Armour and jelly bean filled flintlock

Wandering home

Lucy borrows Jonny's old armour, shield and sword. It doesn't quite fit Jonny any more

Do you think Kind Arthur needs another knight for his round table?
