We went to a Medieval Christmas at the Tower of London. 
King Edward “Longshanks” (I think it means he was tall) in Procession
The Kings Wife, Daughter, and Mother (he is in the chapel praying).
The Chapel where the King left his crown before retiring
The King retiring (with a guard, musician, bishop, and maidservant)
The White Tower (a medieval keep)
Yeoman Warder calling (with a whistle and a hand gesture) a Raven to his cage for the night (the Raven is at the gate and is walking to a cage which is just beyond the lower left corner of the photograph). The Ravens wings are clipped because of a legend that says England will fall if the Ravens leave the Tower.
