As antiquarian and arms enthusiast, I was enthralled and so were my family. We all enjoyed 3-D armour AV, stunning. Only criticism was siting of the shield game directly behind History AV. Congratulations.

I visited the Tower of London and all its armour many years ago. I loved it. I remember that they wore something like a slip under the armour, but can't find a reference for that. Does anyone have any info on that?

I visited The Tower of London back in May and thought it was amazing! Me and my family spent the entire day there. I really enjoyed it as I am really interested in history. Just wanted to thank you for an incredible day!

I found this exhibit amazing! I found it fascinating to be looking at pieces of armour that Henry himself actually wore. It is a wonderful insight into what times were like! The whole visit to the Tower was that brilliant, I'm returning next week to see it all again! Fantastic! :-)

I was at the Tower of London in January and I was devastated not to be able to get back to see it, but it's a long way from home. Through the pictures, I am sure the exhibit would have been as stunning and magnificent as King Henry himself.

My family and I went to visit the Tower of London last week and found the Henry VIII exhibition to be excellent. It is so well done and in such a way that even my 2 young children found it interesting! If you have any interest in Henry VIII, the Tudors or history, you simply must pay the Tower a visit. A 10/10 day out that is worth every penny. My only advice to the Tower is now you have the display, can't you keep it forever, it's in the safest place...?!

My husband and I were lucky enough to visit London at this special 500th anniversary to see this excellent armour display. This exhibition is unlike what we have ever seen (Australian history being very young in comparison) before and it was educational, informative and mesmerising. Set aside adequate time to experience the animations and video displays - the people who put on this display should be commended for it.

I have recently been to the Tower and I had the privilege of attending the exhibition. The armour and the rest of King Henry's belongings that are on show bring the age of hand to hand combat back to reality. The workmanship was fantastic and the design amazing. A must see for anyone who has a love of history and beautiful workmanship.
