Yeomen of the Guard lineup as they wait to start their ceremonial search in the Palace of Westminster, before the opening of Parliament in London, Tuesday, May 25, 2010. 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 gun power, with which he planned to blow up Parliament.

Are these the changes you had mentioned? Baby steps people. I wasn't prepared for this sudden change.
Love the hats though.
I'll get used to it.
And I'm not Lola. That's my Newsvine name and my camera. I'm KristaSanDiego.

I do have another question.
What happens to our comments from the previous incarnation of PB?
See that statue all of the way to the right? What is that in his hand? Hmmmm/
That's a sword, you dirty minded so and so.
Yes, but those are women depicted in the statues. And that sword handle...come on.
Sorry, it has been a l-o-n-g time since I have seen a, ummm, sword handle.
Just thought I would mention that I'm to be a Grammy again next winter. Yay Sara and Topher!!!
Oh thank goodness. I know they've been trying forever. Or so it seems. Congratulations Grammy. Well done.
Thanks, Krista!
