The Saxons have definitely been upstaged by the Iceni in this episode but the cameras perhaps visited our site a bit early!! Watch this space, I'll see what I'm allowed to post! That Iron Age hoard near Thetford. Wowsers!!!! Great work! East Anglian archaeology is the best!!

The team, led by Lieutenant Wilhelm Dege, were the last German troops to surrender in WW2, finally doing so FOUR MONTHS after Germany had officially surrendered.
