Caption competition
Posted By Claire on October 6, 2016
I was going through all the photos that Tim and I took of our recent adventures in London and I found this funny one. Tim took this one of me and historian Gareth Russell as we walked around the White Tower of the Tower of London together. I haven’t got a clue what we were talking about and why I made that face, so I thought it would be fun to run a caption competition.
All you need to do is to leave a comment on this post giving your caption for the photo. There are no rules regarding how many words/characters the caption should be, but it should have some kind of history twist, with us being two history authors and we were at the Tower of London. Leave your comment before midnight on 12th October 2016. Gareth and I will pick a winning caption and the writer will win two books – a copy of Gareth’s A History of the English Monarchy from Boadicea to Elizabeth I and the winner’s choice of one of my books.
Here is a larger version of the photo so you can see the wonderful face that I’m pulling:
No !! You’re not having anything !!
Look at this place no woner the princes just disappeared
Sorry meant to say Wonder not woner
Oh it’s his cod piece
Did you see the size of that codpiece. It must have been this big.
And there goes her head…. again.
Gareth: “Well, here we are, Claire, in the Tower and last night you were in Spain! What would Henry make of that?!”
Claire: “He wouldn’t believe it, Gareth.”
Oh no! Somebody just sent my portrait to King Henry!
Henry! It’s so difficult to understand that man!
No Gareth ! Her neck was this little !
Wives, easy come, easy go.
Of course there have been ghosts sighted in the White Tower – perhaps ghosts of the young Princes Edward & Richard – but who knows?
I feel them, the spirits are here!
Globerose’s comment cracks me up. I can’t top that!
Claire – ‘I wonder how long it took Henry to get dressed in the morning’. Gareth – ‘Less time than it took you to pack your suitcase I should imagine’.
With ‘protection’ like that, no wonder Henry didn’t father many children!
I jest you not I was this close into bumping in to Catherine Howard’s ghost
They’re saying it’s Anne’s head, but for me, the neck’s too short.
Im NOT goin in there! They cut peoples heads off in there!!
Gareth: “All I’m saying is it is a nice suit of armor”
Claire: “And all I’m saying is the armor did little to protect his head. He lost it long before his wive’s did”
No. It’s left arm in . Not both arms in..
I don’t mind standing in line to see THESE crown jewels!
It’s a good thing Henry wasn’t on Tinder.
No, Gareth. I do not think it would be funny to start a rumour of a seventh wife of Henry VIII.
And these are the lost invisible diaries of Samuel Pepys – I bought them for £1000 but as you are my best friend, I will sell them to you for 500?
