Wednesday evening 09/04/2015 was crowned with the now traditional visit to the Tower of
London and the highlight of the evening was the Ceremony of the Keys.
This special parade has been performed without fail every night for the
last 600 years and marks the ceremonial locking up and handing over of
the keys to the resident governor of the Tower.
The Tower has many fabulous sights to offer and the Crown Jewels of the
Royal Family are just one of the many items.
