The Palace is undergoing a huge transformation to help bring to life what it was like for the people who lived and worked there in the 1200s. Pride of place is a new exhibit, a 700-year-old, one-of-a-kind, rare item found in the Tower's moat, with an amazing story to tell. Meanwhile, in the Raven House, two new arrivals are about to move in, but first, everything needs to be made ready for them.

It's May 6th, and the Tower is preparing to host an emotional evening marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day with a Royal Marines marching band, a newly commissioned poem by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, and a parade honouring Second World War veterans. Ravenmaster Barney Chandler finally chooses names for the royal fortress's two youngest ravens, and a new Beefeater joins the ranks of the royal palace.
