War has never been so much fun.

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Maidstone to witness the Battle of Maidstone.

It was the re-enactment of events in the town centre 360 years ago, when the County Town was the scene of one of the most important battles of the English Civil War.

Here are some pictures of the event - but don't miss this Friday's Kent Messenger for full coverage.
