  Len Memories of 18 Protection Post whilst at Cannon Row, presumably introduced after the Stone of Scone went walk about on Christmas Day 1950? Nice picture of the 'quieter' days.

  John, I don't remember that protection post but I was on duty the night when the stone was removed from the throne and half way down the aisle the wheels on the makeshift cart collapsed. It was sometime in the seventies and the alarm worked!

  Len Yes, unforgettable really, early 1960's it was 18 protection post, pretty grim in the middle of winter on night duty! One night (3am) had to search the interior with others, talk about eery, the hairs on the back of your neck stood up as you had no idea if there were intruders or not, thankfully none were present.
