History will be alive at the Museum of Oxford this weekend, as museum staff dress up as characters from different periods of time.
Our picture shows assistant Ina Barnes as an Anglo Saxon woman, Elswitha, preparing for her husband's funeral.

Elswitha would have lived in the fifth century as part of a local tribe called the Gewissae.
The free weekend event links with Museums and Galleries month, which is based on the theme of meeting people.
Visitors will be able to talk to Civil War soldiers and sample traditional foods from that period.
The Victorian period will also be represented.
Visitors can try their hands at making a Victorian rug.
Museum manager John Lange said: "Visitors will be able to take a whistle-stop tour through the centuries and meet a range of historical characters.
"This is an exciting opportunity for people of all ages to experience history hands-on."
