The Mayor of Worcester, Councillor David Clark, greets King Charles II on the steps of the Guildhall as the first contingent of The Sealed Knot arrived in the city in preparation for the 350th anniversary re-enactment of the Battle of Worcester at Lower Wick next week.
King Charles (alias Derek Denston) will lead his men against Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarians on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, September 1 and 2, with the result expected to be the same as on September 3, 1651, when the Royalists lost.
More than 2,000 Sealed Knot soldiers will take part in the battles, which will be accompanied by a living history village and a banquet at the Guildhall.
