Crowds enjoyed medieval revelry as a town turned back the clock for its annual festival.

More than 4,000 people attended the King Harold Day Festival on Saturday, which included an array of attractions, including morris dancers, falconry and archery.

A procession from Sun Street to the Abbey churchyard, where some believe the remains of King Harold were buried soon after his death in 1066, was led by festival organiser and chairman, Tricia Gurnett.

Crowds were entertained by history re-enactment group, The Feudals, which set up a medieval village and demonstrated how to cook food of the time.

Students from Hillhouse Primary School, Leverton Infant & Nursery, Upshire Primary, Waltham Holy Cross Infant, and Waltham Holy Cross Juniors submitted designs for the planned Waltham Abbey Tapestry.

Ms Gurnett said: "The artwork by the schools was incredible and we hope to use some for the Waltham Abbey Tapestry.

"The procession went very well, I led alongside Peter Frost and at the end flowers were laid on the King Harold memorial stone.

"The day was very good, it was first class and everyone enjoyed it immensely."
