Tower of London

We spent an enjoyable morning at the Tower of London. There was an exhibit on Henry VIII, there are banners on some of the towers.

An informative sign, if you happen to require a beheading, or a coffee.

There is a legend that there must be ravens at the Tower or it will fall into the hands of their enemy. There is a raven keeper, and they have their own kitchen which prepares all their meals.

We took a great tour with one of the 'beefeaters'.

This is one of the Royal Palaces, as such it has this symbol for Queen Elizabeth. We saw them all over London, and I couldn't help thinking how they would have to change ALL of them when the next king takes the throne. What a big job.
