	The musical STOMP Everybody of us want to see this musical and in the evening we went to the "Vaudeville Theatre" to see it. Notify, during the show there's no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.
	STOMP is a movement, of bodies, objects and sounds. They use daily objects in non-traditional ways to animate the vistors.
	For example, they created a dance routine based around sweeping! Or have you ever composed a symphony using only matchbooks as instruments?
	Here are a few things, which are used inside the show: Brooms, Lids, Short Bins, Sand, Drumsticks, Water and garbage pails. Confused? We found it ingenious!

	The Tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison. The Crown Jewels have been kept at the Tower of London since 1303, after they were stolen from Westminster Abbey.
	Ravens It had been thought that there have been at least six ravens in residence at the Tower for centuries. It was said that Charles II ordered their removal following complaints from John Flamsteed, the Royal Astronomer.
	However, they were not removed because Charles was then told of the legend that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, the White Tower, the Monarchy, and the entire Kingdom would fall.
