Last summer I was lucky enough to win a weekend for 2 in Richmond with a trip down the Thames to the Hampton Court Flower Show I took my daughter with me and as we had a day on Sunday to ourselves we went to Hampton Court Palace not knowing that on that they had the whole day devoted to a celebration and re-construction of the Kings marriage to Kathryn (the last one) The costumes were magnificent and all the public were also invited to take part and were given costumes if they so wished, we declined due to the fact that it was a very hot day and the costumes were mostly made of velvet. I was lucky enough to get a couple of photos of Henry VIII and did notice that the front of his costumes seemed to be decorated with gold bobbin lace I have put some of the photos on my webshot harvey0541 if you want to have a look and give me your opinion. It was an absolutely lovely day and in the end we almost began to believe that it was actually happening on that day such was the atmosphere and acting and the fact that they involved everyone and we were stopped on one occasion by the lady acting as the sister of Kathryn to ask us if we had seen her pass this way, she spoke in old English and I found myself answering "nay my lady, I have not seen her"
