Knights
If you were a Medieval knight, one of the best ways to sort out problems was by hitting people with a pike. Doing so in a tourney, helped to sharpen the skills for warfare.
The knights’ features are obscured by the helmets. Unfortunate for photography but probably a good thing for their faces.
The Portaloos are not a period detail.
I had my aperture wide open as usual, increasing my shutter speed. This is a necessity if you want to take action shots in the murk of the English sun but by a happy coincidence, the result of throwing the background out of focus helps to separate the knight from the crowd. Where would sports photography be if optical physics worked differently?

Cool!
very nice shots… I like how you worked on the black and white
Excellent exposure on the suits of armour Dave.
Thanks, I think the lack of good sun light might have helped because it stopped them from getting too shiny.
