On June 15, Queen Elizabeth and heads of state from around the world will descend upon a small plot of land at the base of Cooper's Hill in Runnymede, about 20 miles west of London. They will gather here, around a small stone marker, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, a charter agreed upon by King John of England that guaranteed basic human rights for all citizens. Runnymede is thought to be where the Magna Carta was sealed.
But what they may not know is that this land has become home to the Diggers.
