I know it's a long shot due to lack of de...

[quote=""Madeleine""]The Ceremony was good - our Beefeater was very entertaining and played up the ghost story angle and I'm sure had a few of the small children in our group shivering a bit. What was really creepy was hearing the story of the Princes in the Tower (very abridged version!) and their ...
