A commemoration of the life of Anne Boleyn drew crowds to the Blickling Estate today.

The former Queen of England, who famously failed to give Henry VIII a son, was executed in the shadow of the Tower of London 487 years ago.

Now, on the anniversary of her death (May 19), a procession passed through Blickling Estate in her honour.

Heather Jermy, Blickling Estate's general manager who dressed as Anne Boleyn for the walk through the grounds, said: “Blickling is the birthplace of Anne Boleyn.

"We’re proud to share her story with our visitors and I’m pleased to play my own small part in shining a light on this legacy.

“Delving through layers of history and getting to know those important individuals and communities that have both loved and cared for Blickling Estate is something we’re passionate about.

"Having the opportunity to immerse our supporters on this important day each year is a real privilege.”

Anne Boleyn was thought to be born in Blickling alongside her siblings Mary and George.
