On the knight shift

Daredevils were back in town at the weekend as four teams of knights battled for the coveted Sword of Honour in a display of medieval jousting.

The drama began building through the heats over the weekend with the international tournament reaching its climax today in the Tiltyard at the Royal Armouries Museum, Clarence Dock, Leeds.

Other attractions over the weekend included falconry demonstrations, have-a-go sword fighting and action-packed combat displays. Further details are available by visiting www.royalarmouries.org
