If that is a Yeoman of the guard he's missing his diagonal gun strap, which is the most obvious difference.

You can see the diagonal straps in this picture:

Yes!

Answers like these could see you ordered to the tower. I'm sure the successors to my first RQMS, later Chief Yeoman Warder Copestake, will look after you appropriately.

Please note that due to the traditional nature of this event, late arrivals will not be admitted. The ceremony will conclude at 22:05 hrs (10.05pm) after which all visitors will be escorted to the exit. There are no toilet or refreshment facilities available. Photography is not permitted during any part of the ceremony.

It's all taken very very seriously, you mustn't even cough .... believe me!



Oh I believe you...

I'm given to understand that the correct answer is "Queen Anne's keys!" which is followed by "Pass, Queen Anne's keys."

If they don't even allow coughing, perhaps I shouldn't go. (Not that I had any plans to anyway.)

Incorrect, it is the current Monarchs keys.

Keys

I stand corrected, and blame Tom Clancy. (See the popular culture section of that page.)
