EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the students of Kent and Sussex Universities come together to pay homage to a pivotal moment in British history, as they re-enact the Battle of Hastings on the very soil where it took place 900 years ago. The date is October 14, 1066, and the scene is set with meticulous attention to detail. The re-enactors, dressed in authentic military costumes, transport us back to a time when the fate of England hung in the balance. The Norman invaders, led by William the Conqueror, clash with the Anglo-Saxon forces, determined to defend their homeland. Among the Anglo-Saxon ranks, we see students dressed in cross-gartered jeans and dyed sackcloth doublets. These costumes, while not traditional for the period, reflect the innovative spirit of the re-enactment. The jeans, a symbol of the 1960s, add an intriguing contrast to the medieval setting. The atmosphere is electric as the re-enactors wield their swords and spears, their faces hidden behind helmets. The clash of steel against steel, the cries of the warriors, and the thundering hooves of the horses create an immersive experience that transports us back to the Battle of Hastings. This photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with history and the power of re-enactment to bring the past to life. It is a poignant reminder of the events that shaped Britain and the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
