Scope and content
London turned out to give Yuri Gagarin another storming welcome today (13-7-1961) – and the enthusiasm of it kept him a prisoner in the Tower of London for ten minutes. Gagarin had to stay in the Jewel Tower until care arrived because the excited crowd waiting for outside was so big. And because so many people flocked round him everywhere he went he had to cut short his tour of the Tower and missed seeing the new armouries.
Photo shows: Major Gagarin is escorted by a yeoman warder on a tour of London's historic Tower.
