From the giant Norman fireplaces through the beheading and burial places for Henry VIII's less favoured wives to the 15 feet thick walls in the dungeons. The ultimate school excursion. Many weeks earlier, Hilary had secured tickets for the Ceremony of The Keys - the 740 year old ceremony where the Tower of London's duty Beefeater secures the doors for the ...
