Parliament Pomp and Pageantry
Yeomen of the Guard prepare to conduct a ceremonial search at the House of Lords in London, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009, before the State Opening of Parliament. The search dates back to Nov. 5 1605, when Guy Fawkes, one of a group of plotters, was arrested in the cellars underneath Parliament, with a store of gunpowder, with which he planned to blow up Parliament.
