Today I found a story in a newspaper about Henry - I didn't know that he ascended the throne exactly 500 years ago...and so I try to visualise this day...how was the weather? How many people celebrated this day in which way and which expectations did they have? Which feelings did Henry have? Was he nervous? Or proud? Did he feel confident to be Englands king by Grace of God? It's so fascinating to imagine how it really was...500 years later now where we know exactly how this kingship ran and ended.

London celebrates Henry VIII anniversary Special festivities and exhibitions in 2009 will celebrate the era of the Tudor king -- and his six wives.
By Susan James, Special to The Los Angeles Times 10:38 AM PDT, September 03, 2008 Best known of the English kings, Henry VIII has usually been portrayed as a gargantuan party boy seducing court ladies, quarreling with the church, arresting friends and beheading wives. But he brought more to the throne than that. Bright, cultured and handsome, Henry succeeded peacefully to the crown as he turned 18, securing the Tudor dynasty and making possible England's golden age. Next year marks the 500th anniversary of that accession, and a variety of special events will be held in and around London to explore his life and reign. A major presentation at Hampton Court, Henry's magnificent palace on the Thames, opens April 12 and runs daily through the year. It focuses on one day in the king's life: July 12, 1543, the day he married his sixth queen, Catherine Parr. Visitors will be able to interact with costumed actors re-creating the event and can wander Tudor rooms such as the king's council chamber, never before open to the public. (Contd.)
