He received and has continued to receive enough abuse as it is.

Henry VII, bah. A very shoddy man. One can easily imagine him a child murderer.

I’m sure that young sentry is a very nice man doing his job.

When I was a kid in the mid-1960’s (and had visited London for several weeks) we came home to the USA with a record album of sounds of London. The Ceremony of the Keys was on that album, and it quite captivated me. I love seeing these pictures and reading your description. Thank you.

Nefarious people now know the model of key and good idea of the patterns

What the sentry says is not “Who’s keys?” but “Whose keys?”
