Ceremony of the Keys
·
Every night the Tower of London is locked up by the Chief Warder who makes his
way to the gates from the Byward Tower at exactly 21:53.
· Once all the Tower gates are locked, the Last Post is sounded by a trumpeter and the
ceremony is concluded.
· This ceremony represents a 700-year-old tradition and lasts no more than 10 minutes.
The Chief Warder represents the Yeoman Warders who have looked after the Tower
since the 14th century.
· Today they perform the role of tour guide in addition to their ceremonial duties.
