Windsor Castle

On Sunday, I went to Windsor Castle with some friends.  We had a great time and were really impressed with the Castle – it is unbelievably huge!  Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, so I don’t have any pictures of the State Apartments (which were gorgeous) or St. George’s Chapel (though I was really tempted to try and take a picture of the King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour’s marble slab over their tomb).

St. George’s Chapel


Private Apartments of the Royal Family


The flag flying on top of the tower means the Queen was in residence while we were there.

How cool. I didn't expect it to be so medieval-looking, for some reason.

How wonderful! I would think they would allow pictures of the H8 stuff. Do they at least sell it? That would be disappointing if they at least didn't do that.

Beautiful shots! I too was tempted to take a photo of the tombs! Did you go through the gardens too?

I'm definitely going to have dig out my old slides and scan them into the computer.
