The Ceremony of the Keys was held in Casemates Square on Thursday afternoon with the Governor of Gibraltar, Vice Admiral Sir David Steel,and local dignitaries present.

The Ceremony of the Keys is a reminder that each evening during the Great Siege the Fortress was locked and platoons were posted outside the walls on the North Front of the Rock to act as sentries, and yesterday it was performed by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment at Casemates Square.
