Having had a little trouble getting in to the showground this morning, Henry VIII was prancing around the showground this afternoon, mounted on his trusty steed.
Dressed in his full regalia, the Monarch, looking pretty good for his age, visited the Tudor Rose Festival to launch the Rose of the Year for 2010. Absolutely Fabulous is a butter yellow, scented rose introduced by C & K Jones.
He was greeted by Marilyn Stevens from Roses UK who then presented several new roses to the waiting crowd.
