THE SWORD OF HONOUR TOURNAMENT 2010

Graham Turner's 2010 jousting season began where 2009 had left off, at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. The Easter weekend saw four teams of three jousters competing for the Sword of Honour, with Graham and his horse Magic part of the Leodis team alongside Royal Armouries jousters, Andrew Brearley and Derry Wells.
