The King's joust is shown as watched over by Queen Katherine along with ladies and gentlemen of the court seated in an ornate pavilion.
The procession is depicted returning from The Joust, closing with the King in all his finery, surrounded by several footmen, as he is shown passing the Queen in the pavilion.
A closing heraldic device and a poem of five verses in praise of Henry VIII, including the lines: This art owr hope our ankyr haven and port In which we sayle now sure from sorows darke By harry our kyng the flowr of natewrs werk Some idea of the scale of the pageantry depicted in the Roll can be seen from Allen Guttman's statement:[7] If the Olympic Games were to have the same proportion of pageantry of athletics, we might expect a week of opening ceremonies, followed by two days of sports and another week of closing ceremonies.There is a collotype reproduction by Sydney Anglo: The Great Tournament Roll of Westminster[8] published in 1968, which was made possible by support of the Marc Fitch Fund.
The Roll appeared in David Olusoga's series for BBC Two, Black and British: A Forgotten History, first broadcast 9 November 2016.
