An estimated 10,000 people turned out to watch knights in shining armour at a jousting tournament in Upper Hutt at the weekend.
The Harcourt Park Medieval Tournament featured competitive jousters from Canada and Sweden, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
The tournament also featured archery and one on one duels, along with battles between teams of foot soldiers.
The ultimate prize, the Grail of Chivalry, went to Canadian Dale Geinow.
