BBC DEVON | Thousands of people will be experiencing a flavour of the Napoleonic Wars - in Torbay, Devon.
The Battle for Berry Head re-enactment has been organised to raise funds for the local Coast and Countryside Trust.
About 150 soldiers and camp followers have set up home in authentic ridge tents, within the recently preserved Napoleonic forts on the site.
Organisers said the highlight would be the storming of the besieged French army barricaded into the Southern Fort.

The wharf at the Butterley Company's former iron foundry is being investigated to see if it warrants being given listed building status or becoming a scheduled ancient monument.
