London 2014 - Part 3 / Windsor Castle

Part 3 of our tour takes us to Windsor Castle.


We used the ever efficient transportation system. Underground to Paddington Station. A Paddington Station train to Slough. Change trains to Windsor. This location is Slough.

Welcome to Windsor Castle. It's too massive to get everything in one photo. So we'll see Windsor in sections.

More castle walls.

Note the flag flying on the round tower. 

That is Queen Elizabeths' standard flying. Her Majesty was in residence at Windsor. The standard flies above the palaces when she is in residence.  

Looking into the courtyard toward the Windsor state rooms. This was the section of the palace that burned in the 90s. 

 What used to be a moat is now an attractive and peaceful place.

The hat may look funny, but do not make him mad. The gun is real.

My queen was in her element.

St. Georges at Windsor. Final resting place of George VI, the Queen Mother, Henry the 8th and Jane Seymour, among others.  

Photos are not allowed in St. Georges nor the State Rooms, but the memories are tremendous.

 You didn't think we were going to tour without numerous visits to the pubs did you? This one was just outside the castle walls.
