Excerpt: Ceremonies known as the Ceremony of the Keys are held in at least two locations in the United Kingdom: London, and Edinburgh, as well as Gibraltar. London Probably the best known such ceremony is the one that takes place every night at the Tower of London, and has done so in some form or another since the 14th century. At exactly 9.53pm, the Chief Yeoman Warder, dressed in Tudor Watchcoat, meets the Military Escort, made up of members of the Tower of London Guard. Together, the CYW and the Yeoman Warder 'Watchman' secure the main gates of the Tower. Upon their return down Water Lane, the party is halted by the sentry and challenged to identify themselves: Sentry: Who comes there? Chief Warder: The keys. S: Whose keys? CW: Queen Elizabeth's keys. (identifying the keys as being those of the current British monarch )S: Pass Queen Elizabeth's Keys. All's well. Following this, the party makes its way through the Bloody Tower Archway into the fortress, where they halt at the bottom of the Broadwalk Steps.

He then takes the keys to the Queen's House for safekeeping, while the Last Post is sounded.
