Oh dear, don’t get carried away. Bank cashier Carol Evans is hoisted off by Henry Tudor’s army after it stopped off in Newtown on August 12, 1985, during its long march to Bosworth. Carol was hoisted on to the shoulder of Kim Hayes in Pool Road while Carl Spriggs made a grab for the money bags. The Battle of Bosworth was on August 22, 1485, so you don’t need to be a genius to work out that this march was some sort of anniversary re-enactment.
