Description:Over a thousand knights took part in the third episode; ‘English and French, mounted and unmounted, foot soldiers, archers and “bombardiers”’ filled the arena. Gwen Lally and the pageant committee made regular appeals in early 1938 for sportsmen or ‘active participants in Rugby and Association football, cricket, tennis and other forms of athletics’ to play the roles, and the scene presented ‘as fierce a fight and as technical a battle as in any huge film’. At least one woman, Gloria Price, took part in the battle and played one of the mounted knights (her photograph appeared in the Birmingham Gazette on July 16th).
