Buried beneath a floor tile in front of the altar in #LambethPalaceChapel are the ashes of the original #NoseyParker, #QueenElizabethI’s #Archbishop #MatthewParker, given his nickname by the Queen herself, not just on account of his large proboscis but also because of his prying nature.

When #QueenElizabethI went to #StPaulsCathedral to give thanks for defeating the #SpanishArmada in 1588 she waited at #TempleBar for the #LordMayorOfLondon to welcome her into the City. He offered her his #SwordOfState as a sign of fealty, the sword was carried at the head of the procession to show that the Monarch was under his protection; a tradition maintained ever since.
