EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London is an ancient tradition that has been taking place every night for over 700 years. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, captures the essence of this historic event as the Chief Yeoman Warder, also known as the "Keyskeeper," locks up the Tower of London. The Ceremony of the Keys is a unique and significant moment in British history, as it marks the end of the day for the iconic fortress and the beginning of a new one. In this image, we see the Chief Yeoman Warder, dressed in his traditional uniform, leading the "Beating the Watch" ceremony. The Guard Mounting Party, made up of the Yeoman Warders and the Old Guard from the Household Cavalry, follow closely behind. The Tower Bridge is illuminated in the background, adding to the dramatic atmosphere of the scene. The photograph was taken by renowned English photographer Edmund Nagele, who captured the essence of this traditional ceremony with precision and artistry. Edmund Nagele was a prolific photographer, known for his work with John Hinde Studios. His images, including this one, have become iconic representations of English history and culture. The Ceremony of the Keys is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the Tower of London, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when history was being made every night at this iconic fortress.
