The Wimborne Militia on December 1, 2024 fire their muskets on the green outside Wimborne Minster, an annual Yuletide tradition to ward off evil spirits as the Christmas lights are turned on in Wimborne, Dorset, UK. The militia was founded by Civil War re-enactment enthusiast Chris Brown in the Dorset town in 1999 and the group are celebrating 25 years this year. (Photo by MaxWillcock/Bournemouth News)
