A day at Buckingham Palace


A couple of weeks ago me, my room mate Amy & our friend Sunny decided to take a tour of Buckingham Palace. We were able to see the Queen's Gallery, The State Rooms of Buckingham, and The Royal Mews. In between seeing these things we were also able to watch the changing of the guard. It was really cool!! The State Rooms and The Royal Mews were my favorites out of the tour. The only thing was that people are not allowed to take pictures inside the Queen's Galleries or inside the State Rooms. You are however allowed to take pictures of the Royal Mews, and I have a picture of each of the Royal Carriages that were on display. Here is a picture of one of my favorite Royal Carriages: The Irish State Coach.



Below is a picture of the back Buckingham Palace. This is what it looks like from the gardens behind the palace.



And here is a picture of the changing of the guard procession. It's not very good pic but because I'm so short, it's the best I could get lol. :)



Here is one last picture. I have saved the best for last!! This is my other favorite Royal Carriage known as The Gold State Coach. It was last used during The Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 to carry Her Majesty and Prince Philip to the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.
