Viking Festival - Anglesey

Today's day at work seemed very long as I was eager to finish and head off to Anglesey to visit our friends in Amlwch. After a welcome meal, we walked down to the harbour to watch a re-enactment of a Viking funeral. The Vikings make their way down the headland with burning torches which are then thrown into the Viking ship to set it alight. The harbour is the perfect setting for this, and it's probably the highlight of the festival. The burning of the boat is then followed by a firework display - also very impressive.
