Her Majesty Matilda, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
Matilda Jones, aged seven, from Norton, Doncaster, found the sword when she was paddling in Dozmary Pool, in Cornwall with her dad Paul.
Paul had told Matilda about the legend of King Arthur on their journey to the lake at Dozmary. Folklore has it that Dozmary Pool is where Excalibur was thrown by Sir Bedivere after the Battle of Camlann and Arthur’s death.
Paul said: "It was a blistering hot day and Matilda asked if we could go for a paddle. She was only waist deep when she said she could see a sword. "I told her not to be silly and it was probably a bit of fencing, but when I looked down I realised it was a sword. It was just there laying flat on the bottom of the lake."
So should Matilda be declared the new Lady of the Lake, is Arthur to return? and does this bode well for Fair Englands shore?
