The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his
son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend,
and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built
on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction of
the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet (230 m) from
the site of the original theatre.

The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard (called King's Guard and King's Life Guard when the reigning
monarch is male) are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London. The British Army has regiments of
both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign's
palaces. Contrary to popular belief, they are not purely ceremonial and are
fully operational soldiers.

The Beatles were an
English rock band that formed in Liverpool, in 1960.
With John Lennon, Paul
McCartney, George
Harrison, and Ringo Starr, they became
widely regarded as the greatest and most influential act of the rock era.[1] Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with
several genres, ranging
from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating
classical elements in innovative ways. In the
early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting
grew in sophistication they came to be perceived as an embodiment of the
ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions.

Afternoon
tea is a light meal typically eaten between 4 pm and 6 pm.
Observance of the custom originated amongst the wealthy classes in England in the
1840s. Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford, is widely
credited as transforming afternoon tea in England into a late-afternoon meal
whilst visiting Belvoir
Castle, though Charles II of England's wife Catherine of Braganza is often credited
with introducing tea to the court upon her arrival in 1662. By the end of the
nineteenth century, afternoon tea developed to its current form and was
observed by both the upper and middle classes.
