Historian and TV presenter Dr David Starkey will be at Lancaster University tomorrow, celebrating the legacy of one of the most famous monarchs in history.
The History Department invited Dr Starkey to give a public lecture to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII.
The free lecture, entitled ‘Henry VIII: Five Hundred Years of Fame, 1509-2009’, will be held at 6.00pm in George Fox Lecture Theatre 1, tomorrow, 22nd September.
Members of the public, staff and students are welcome to attend. Seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
