Barney Chandler, newly appointed ravenmaster at The Tower of London in London, Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024. If legend is to be believed, Barney Chandler has just got the most important job in England. Chandler is the newly appointed ravenmaster at the Tower of London. He's responsible for looking after the feathered protectors of the 1,000-year-old fortress. According to legend, if the ravens leave the 11th-century tower beside the River Thames, its White Tower will crumble and the Kingdom of England will fall. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
