"The UK monarch's bodyguard - the 'Yeoman of the Guard' - conducted the ritual search of the cellars of the Palace of Westminster, ahead of the State Opening of Parliament and the King's Speech on Wednesday. It dates back to the 1605 'gunpowder plot', when Guy Fawkes and his associates attempted to blow up King James I and Parliament. The King's Speech sees Charles III outline the government's priorities, in an address put together by the administration of the day. The State Opening comes at a difficult time for the prime minister, as calls continue for Keir Starmer to quit. Nearly 90 of his MPs have demanded he resign following disastrous local election results last week."
