The Ceremony of the Keys is the traditional locking up of the Tower of London and has taken place on each and every night, without fail, for at least 700 years. The importance of securing this fortress for the night is still very relevant because, although the Monarch no longer resides at this royal palace, the Crown Jewels and many other valuables still do!
Nicole, a student at Joel's school wrote in for a group of us to do this, as it takes about 6-8 weeks to get tickets. We were at The Tower of London on a night with a full moon. It was an unforgettable experience to watch the ceremony and be a part of the history.
Here are some pics of the tower, and me with a beefeater.
