Legend has it that six ravens must guard the Tower of London at all times or the monarchy will fall.
So security has been beefed up at the Norman fortress after a fox killed two of the treasured birds, leaving the minimum number required to save the Crown.

The idea of ravens within the Tower of London goes back for centuries.
ne source claims that shortly after the execution of Lady Jane Grey within the Tower, the ravens were seen to be “pecking the eyes from the severed head” of the dead Queen.
The enduring legend is that King Charles II (on the throne from 1660 to 1685) was told by a witch, or an advisor, that should the ravens ever leave the Tower, the Monarchy would fall.
Another source claims a friend of King Charles’, John Flamsteed, using the Tower as an observatory, complained about the ravens flying past his telescope and obscuring his view,
but Charles refused to remove the ravens, fearing it would be a bad omen to kill or banish the birds.

Foxes eh?
Tony Blair banned fox hunting.
People called him King Blair.
Could a coup be on the horizon?
Honestly though Ravens are marvellous birds and I feel the necessary attitude to the monarchy - that they're a bit of a throwback and nuisance but remind us of the ridiculousness of government and by virtue of being weak give certain freedoms. Too many have gone down the weird devotion to monarchy thing and the monarchy are overstepping the mark too much.
