More about this scene
The King's Guard Chamber contains one of the world's greatest displays of weaponry. Entrance to the private and state apartments was not granted by the Yeoman of the Guard until the visitor had passed through the King's Guard Chamber. Here undoubtedly ambassadors, emissaries and other distinguished visitors were challenged and searched for weapons. With the display of over 3000 arms laid out in a decorative pattern by William III's gunsmith Harris, anyone attempting mischief would have been put off.
