The Battle of Shrewsbury reenactment organisers have had to surrender this year's event to a lack of funds.
The popular, free-to-attend event has been cancelled for this year after falling short by £2,500 needed to let the battle commence.
The reenactments are normally held at the Battlefield 1403 farm shop site, and more than 200 people fought in last year's battle which attracted more than 1,000 spectators on each day. Matthew was gutted to cancel what would have been the fifth showcase of the battle, with attendees from the USA and France preparing to fly in.
"The battle is a key piece of British history that's often forgotten and it influenced a lot of things like the Wars of the Roses."
