Jousting at Hampton Court Palace

Last week, me and my family went to Hampton Court Palace to see the jousting. We got to sit in the front so we had a really good view.

There were knights in shining armour on horses. It was, well, amazing. I could hear the crowd cheering and hooves thundering all around.

When they are jousting, the knights gallop towards each other. They try to hit the other knights with their long poles. They get points each time they hit them. They have a big wall in the middle so they don’t get the horses injured when they do it. The winner was Sir Walter.

There was a band playing old music. Ba-de-da-ba-de-da-bababa!

After the jousting, we went to the maze and my mum and dad got lost.  It was our turn to be the knights in shining armour - me and my brother. We had to rescue our parents.
