Ceremony of the Keys!

Here we come!

Where Ann Boleyn got the axe!

The Ceremony of the Keys is the nightly ritual held to close the gates at the Tower of London. Each night at 10pm the yeoman warders pass off the keys and bolt the gates. This ceremony has been happening for hundreds of years and even took place during the blitzes of both world wars! We were lucky enough to go on an after hour tour of the grounds, visit the pub (cheapest pub in London) and see the ceremony! It was fascinating. A.Julie loved the tower so much that she spent the day there as well. (I think she wanted to take home some jewels....)
