UK - Britain marks 950th anniversary of Battle of Hastings: Al Jazeera English

Published on Oct 15, 2016
Thousands of people have re-enacted one of the most famous events in Britain's history. 

The Battle of Hastings between William of Normandy and the Anglo-Saxon King, Harold the second, ended in victory for the French-born monarch.

It changed English society and resulted in an influx of foreign influences, topics which are particularly relevant in post-Brexit Britain.

Al Jazeera's Sonia Gallego watched the commemorations in southern England.
