A North-East castle is staging an historical pageant next week.
Part of English Heritage's jubilee touring festival, it takes place at Barnard castle on August 31 and September 1.
Visitors can meet some of history's most celebrated queens, such as Victoria, Elizabeth I and Boudicca.
There will also be demonstrations of different fighting styles from the Iron Age, as well as medieval music provided by the New St George Waits Band.
Youngsters can make themselves a crown or tiara at a craft studio and enjoy puppet shows.
The castle will be open from 10am on both days and entry is £5 for adults, £4 for concessions and £3 for children.
For further details contact the castle on (01833) 638212.
