This picture shows Andrew Balmforth dressed as a mediaeval knight from the middle ages riding Copper a beautiful chestnut charger.
The Royal armouries museum here in Leeds, Yorkshire has a purpose built tiltyard (or tilt yard or tilt-yard) being an enclosed yard for jousting (also known as tilting). Tiltyards were a common feature of late medievil palaces and castles, today they are very unusual.
Jousting takes place here in Leeds at the Royal Armouries Museum on weekends, high days and holidays.
There will be more photographs from the tiltyard at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds over the next few days.
