queen marks 800 years of the Magna Carta!!!
http://news.sky.com/story/1502323/queen-marks-800-year-magna-carta-milestone
The Queen has arrived at Runnymede to mark the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta.
Joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and Prince William, the monarch is at the site where the treaty between tyrannical King John and his rebellious barons was agreed.
The Duke of Cambridge launched the celebrations by unveiling an art installation, called The Jurors, which symbolises one of the Magna Carta's most important clauses.
It involves 12 bronze chairs arranged facing each other, inspired by the 39th clause, which gives the right to a jury trial.
Each chair is decorated with images and symbols relating to past and continuing struggles for freedom, rule of law and equal rights.
it's probably unrecognisable due to the billions of extra statutes added..
has anyone ever looked in to becoming a freeman on the land...
