200 years after the Battle of Waterloo a young pupil from Helston has had the privilege of holding a sword actually used in Wellington's famous victory.
Aidan from St Michael's School was on a visit to Helston Museum today when he correctly answered a question about what was significant about today.
As a reward he was allowed to handle the sword which had been used by a Lt Harris from Camborne.
