Joust a minute - hard men go head to head in suits of armour (with video)

Today visitors to the museum in Clarence Dock, Leeds, experienced the battle of the Celts v The Saxons in a show of strength, as four of the UK's strongest men went head to head.

There were competitions throughout the day, featuring four strongmen including the current UK champion Jimmy Marku and Scotland's strongest man, Louis MacLean. The strongmen will also be at the museum again on Thursday.

Other half-term highlights include: themed performances with armour fights daily in the Royal Armouries Amphitheatre; a themed horse show, falconry, arts and crafts with a chance to make a knight's helmet and shield; metalwork demonstrations and jousting with visitors able to witness the drama and passion of real-live jousting in the heart of Leeds.

Museum entry is free.
