Ah yes! One of the famous resting places for the body of Edward I's deceased queen back from Scotland to London. A superb shot!

Howard Somerville replied to Andy Rodker:

Thanks. Any photographer covering the event wouldn't have had to do as much photoshopping as I did here.

The Cross is a Victorian replica.

Ha ha! I bet that is the case!
I didn't know it was a replica. From memory at least one is the original but I forget which.

According to www.cotswolds.info/strange-things/banbury-cross.shtml, all three of the original medieval crosses were destroyed in the 17th century by the Puritans.
