‘Brutal Vikings’ land on Holy Island
Viking raiders have returned to Holy Island for the first time in more than 1,000 years.
A “war party” of the heavily armed, bearded heathens arrived on Lindisfarne, in Northumberland, to launch a cultural festival.
The Vikings, played by members of the Norse Film and Pageant Society, will give visitors a taste of how they secured their place as one of the most brutal races in history.
