The Ceremony of the Keys- Tower of London

Ernst and i were invited by a friend to attend the 'Ceremony of the Keys' in the Tower of London last week Wed at 9:30 pm... (it takes months to get tickets as there is a long waiting list of people wanting to go) this is the 'longest shortest' ceremony and has happened every night for the last 700 years (only ran late (by 45 min) once during WW2 whilst bombs were falling on London!). The Ceremony is conducted by the Yeomen (the Tower guards/keepers) and involves locking the Tower up for the night. Ernst and I went out for a lovely meal at Brown Sugar, before heading to the Tower of London.
