On this day 419 years ago, the #GunpowderPlot was foiled in the cellars of the #HouseOfLords.

The event is still marked today. Before the State Opening of @UKParliament in July, members of the Yeomen of the Guard ceremonially searched the cellars of the House of Lords. Members of the Yeomen of the Guard kneel in Prince’s Chamber to pick up traditional oil lamps. They are wearing bright red uniforms.
