    Which five events in history would you go back in time to see?

    For me -

    King Alfred's coronation
    The Bastard landing at Norman's Bay
    The signing of the Magna Carta
    The Battle of Falkirk 1298
    Nuremburg Rally of 1934

    Great suggestions, folks. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I particularly like Charlemagne, the Smiths gig, Waterloo, and the murder of Caesar, but they are all noteworthy.

    Keep them coming, please.
