Westminster
Abbey is also full of history. It was founded in 1050 as a
monastery, but later it was rebuilt by Henry III.
In the 18th century the West Towers were added. The present building
dates from about 1480. Nearly all the kings and queens of Britain
were crowned and buried there. As the scene of coronation of
English kings, Westminster Abbey continues a tradition
established by William the Conqueror who was crowned on Christmas
Day, 1066. When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2,1953,
the ritual was essentially the same although setting has changed.
Beneath
the roof of the Gothic building there are also the graves and
memorial slabs of statesmen, philosophers,
men of letters and other distinguished people. Newton,
Darwin,
Chaucer, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy are buried in the Abbey. One
of the treasures of the Abbey is the ancient Coronation Chair and
the Stone of Scone upon which Scottish kings were crowned.
Westminster Abbey is a symbol of English tradition at its best.
Buckingham
Palace is the official London residence of Her Majesty the Queen and
her family. It was built in the 18th century and rebuilt later by
the architect John Nash.
Nash
began his work in 1825, but the palace was not completed until 1837.
The
first monarch who took residence there was Queen Victoria.
Above
the State Entrance is the central balcony where the Royal Family
appear on occasions of national importance.
The
Royal Standard flying over the east front of Buckingham Palace is
the sign that the Queen is in the residence. The absence of the
Royal Standard over Buckingham Palace means that the Queen is absent
from London.
Buckingham
Palace is partially open to the public, but the ceremony of the
Changing of the Guard in front of it is a great tourist attraction.
Royal Horse Guard’s ceremony takes place daily in the forecourt at
11.30
a. m. and lasts half an hour. One group of palace .guards
in their traditional bearskins gives the palace keys to another
group.Westminster abbey
