Behind Scott and the kids you might be able to see one of the famous Ravens. Legend has it that Charles II was warned that should the ravens leave the Tower, the monarchy would fall, and he therefore ordered that henceforth a small population should always remain. The ravens that are normally in the cage were taken inside as a precaution due to the bird flu. We also were able to view the Crown Jewels which comprise the regalia of crowns, scepters, orbs and swords. It was truly amazing. While you were queuing to view the jewels they showed short films and color footage of HM Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. It was cool to first see the footage and then the actual crowns. Unfortunately - we were not allowed to take pictures. It's good to be the Queen!
