Yeomen of the Guard prepare to conduct the ceremonial search ahead of the State Opening of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster in London on June 4, 2014. The State Opening of Parliament marks the formal start of the parliamentary year and the Queen's Speech sets out the government’s agenda for the coming session. The ceremonial search by members of the Queen's Body Guard ahead of the State Opening is a tradition that dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes was arrested whilst preparing to blow up Parliament.
