l)No other historic monument in England can boast of such an unbroken continuity with the past or of having played such a major part in the nation’s heritage as the Tower of London.

2) The Tower’s great sense of history lives on in its traditions and particularly in the ceremonies which are still performed here virtually unchanged after several centuries.

3) The Tower is justly well-known for its unique Ceremony of the Keys which in some form may well have been enacted nightly for over seven hundred years.

5) The ceremony begins at eight minutes to ten o’clock each evening when the Chief Yeoman Warder, in a long scarlet coat, leaves the Byward Tower accompanied by an escort of four soldiers and secures the main gates of the Tower.

6) Then, as he and the escort return, the sentry at the Bloody Tower gives the challenge, «Halt, who goes there?»

7) The Chief Warder replies, «The Keys.» The sentry asks, «Whose Keys?» The Chief Warder answers, «Queen Elizabeth’s Keys.»

8 ) The party then proceeds to the foot of the steps leading to Broad Walk where they are met by the main guard who present arms.
