Ancient and modern armed forces were out in force at a weekend of activities at Lancaster Castle 29th – 30th June – and Alan Phillips was there to snap Lancaster-based Saxon and Norman re-enactment group Croix du Nord occupying the castle courtyard for a Medieval village recreation with displays of weapons, cookery, medicines and even a mock slave auction!
