Comment: I think this guy is supposed to be guarding the Crown Jewels. I'm surprised he was there he looked like he was skipping school. Really young.
The White Tower 3 * 1536 x 2048 * (1.31MB)

Yeomen Guard (Tour Guide) * This guy was our tour guide. By far out of all the guided tours I have been on this guy is the BEST!! These guys are soooo funny and tell you all about the place as stories. One of the best characters you could meet. They are the Yeomen guard. The King/Queens personal guard. They are also known as beefeaters because they used to get paid in extra rations of meat. To become one today they have to serve in the military for 22 years and get to the rank of Sergeant Major before they are even considered for this job. * 2048 x 1536 * (1.48MB)

Tower Green * 2048 x 1536 * (1.55MB)

Armouries * This is where all the armour and weapons are kept. The home of the big boys toys!! You feel like a kid in a toy shop all over again!! * 2048 x 1536 * (1.31MB)

Waterloo Barracks * These are where the Crown Jewels are kept. They are locked in this massive vault. Even got to see the worlds largest diamond. It is pretty strange when you look at some displays in there and the item is missing because it is in use at the time. The building was once the Barracks for all the solders. * 2048 x 1536 * (1.38MB)
