Even though you’re not allow to take photos of the crown jewels, I snuck a quick pic of Dome Hall, where the jewels are stored. (Check out the case to the right of the big column, next to the guide in the white shirt.) Every few minutes without warning, the two military officers on either side of the case would whip out their sabers and brandish them with a little flourish before re-sheathing them. The maneuver proved to be a successful deterrent to onlookers who might have otherwise strayed too close to the crown.
