Buckingham Palace

Buckingham palace

This was probbly the most special part of the day. Visiting the home of the royal family and seeing the magnificent palace. It was a very big building and to think its someones house! Well she is the Queen.

Victoria Memorial Statue

I kept looking in the windows to see if i could see her but obviously i couldn't, as if she would be standing looking out of the window. Was very busy, the courtyard was full of people, i was suprised at how close you could actully get.

Much prettier gate then at downing street.

And heres me soaking in the culture at Buckingham palace.

Past the gate were these guards, they walked back and forth and stopped in there little huts. must be so boring doing that all day with hundreds of people watching you. He doesnt even look like he could protect the palace under attack. Maybe he's secretly a Ninja?

Every few hours they do the changing of the guard, a march of soliders march out of the palace playing trumpets. Its a bit dramatic but very british was fun to see. They all were wearing red uniforms and the iconic black fury hat, but this band werent the guards surely!

But they were behind them with the huge guns! Was a great display to see and the most enjoyable part of London for me. Was great to say I've finally seen these places.
