London commuters were baffled this morning as the architects of the Gunpowder Plot from 1605 boarded the tube – heading straight for the Houses of Parliament.
Draped in cloaks and wearing boots with spurs, the likes of Guy Fawkes and his fellow plotters mingled with confused workers en route.
But after disembarking at Westminster, they were halted by Lady Cecil, and agents of the Crown, holding an anonymous letter revealing details of the planned atrocity.
