The next several shots take us back into the White Tower. On one of the floors they have armour on display that belonged to Henry Tudor, (Henry VIII). What I saw interesting in this shot, is how thin and "athletic" looking compared to the one you all will see tomorrow. I gave this shot a sepia tone so the detail of the armour would stand out a bit more. Enjoy and thanks for your comments and tips ... Sorry for the re-post ...

That's a pretty cool shot. The grain give it an old picture look.

every day is a gift......that's why it's called the present!!
They sure had some talented blacksmiths back in the day Jelly. I don't believe there is a way to let it out if you gain weight. Wonderful shot of both the knight and the horse's armour.

The horses chosen to be a night's steed had to be exceptionally stronger, with stamina far beyond the regular horse - practically a draft horse. Imagine trying to carry all that armor on the night as well as on the horse. Oy! They would have been similar to modern day British drum horses:
