Soldiers provide an honor guard before the Magna Carta Memorial with its simple inscription "To commemorate Magna Carta, symbol of freedom under law" at Runnymede, England, during a commemoration ceremony, Monday June 15, 2015, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the groundbreaking accord called Magna Carta. In 1215, Britain's King John met disgruntled barons at Runnymede and agreed to a list of basic rights and laws called Magna Carta, which have formed the basic tenets of modern civil liberties, and was an inspiration for the U.S. Constitution among many other worldwide influences.
