John Stow wrote during the reign of Elizabeth I, The Tower of London was "...a citadel to defend or command the city, a royal palace for assemblies or treaties, a prison of state for the most dangerous offenders; the only place of coinage for all England...The armoury for warlike provision; the treasury of the ornaments and jewels of the crown; and general conserver of the most records of the queen's courts of justice". In fact the Tower was no longer used as a royal residence, except before coronations, when Stow wrote those words. The Tudors had changed all that.

As a result, tradition had to give way to public pressure, and the flag was finally lowered at the Palace under intense media coverage. The process did not stop there; to mark the first anniversary of Diana's death (31 August 1998), the Queen ruled that all flags at the royal residences should be lowered and half-masted as a special mark of respect. The British government declared immediately that they would follow suit. The national flag can be an `active' symbol on national days, coronations and royal weddings, and in parades, parliamentary debates, salutes, ceremonials, rituals, memorials and subtly in everyday procedures in the legislature. A specific example is the saluting of the flag, or standing up when singing the national anthem.
