Fit for a King

The new exhibition called Fit for as King opened today in the White Tower at the Tower of London. No it's not an April fools joke it's real.

I was there a few weeks ago on a research visit and amidst all the carpenters, curators, armourers and technicians the exhibition was taking shape. A lot of the gallery was cordoned off to keep the public back behind the rope line, but it was taking shape. It will be stunning, I can't wait to see it finished myself. It shows 500 years of armour and arms Fit for a King, suits of Armour made for the likes of Henry VIII are on display, some rarely seen by the public.

I will report on the full exhibition in due course when we next visit.
