       And when pals pointed out he was the spit of the Tudor ruler, he bought himself a replica outfit and posted a picture online.

       Before long he was asked to historical events.

       After driving a van all week for work, he now travels around the country at weekends giving talks as Henry, who he says is misunderstood.

       David, of Thurrock, Essex, said: “My colleagues were a bit shocked when they found out – I get called ‘Your Majesty’ at work.

       “Lots of people joke, ‘Are you going to chop my head off?’ but they usually quieten down when I tell them I might have them hung drawn and quartered, which is how the king would have common criminals executed.”

       Photographer girlfriend Jodie Brown comes along to events. David said of Henry, who had six spouses: “He really wasn’t the womaniser a lot of people think he was.

       "For a king of his time, he had remarkably few extra-marital affairs, and he really did love some of his wives.

       “Henry was married to his first wife, Katharine of Aragon, for 24 years, so I portray Henry mostly during this time, when he was a similar age to me and before he’d starting executing any wives.
