    The palace was built in 1703, for the Duke of Buckingham. Queen Victoria declared that this castle should be the Royal residence. After the fire at Windsor castle the Queen has opened up parts of Buckingham palace to the public (in summer) in order to raise funds. As you may notice the flag in my pic is at half mast, this was in the week following th death of Princess Diana. Under normal circumstances when you see the flag flying you know that the Queen is home so look out for twitching curtains!

    We woke up early to have a chance to see famous changing guards in buckingham palace, but we didn't believe what we saw. It was Queen Elizabeth II and George Bush checking guard of honors. Wow, we were excited. Of course, it's not up close, it was about 100 metres away. We were also interviewed by BBC newsreporter! Security was all over. Heard that they spent 5 million pound for this visit. All from taxpayers of Londonites.

    Many children brought up on Winnie the Pooh books, will know of Christopher Robin and the poem "They are Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace". The Grenadier Guards in their red jackets and black bearskins are a very popular sight.

    Buckingham Palace the official London residence of the Queen and you can visit the magnificent State Rooms. Open daily in summer. If you don't have time to visit the palace just try to come and see the changing of the guards. It's so beautiful and worth the effort to come and see it. I had a wonderful time to see this and even though it was cloudy day with some rain we did see it. Guard Mounting takes place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am, and lasts about 45 minutes. There is no Guard Mounting in very wet weather. During the autumn and winter, Guard Mounting takes place on alternate dates, but it is held daily during spring and summer.

    Of the three visits to London, this is the first time I've seen the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Not only is the palace spectacular, but so is the crowd (get there early for a decent view, before 10:30). The parade and antics are worth the wait.

    Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837. It evolved from a town house that was owned from the beginning of the eighteenth century by the Dukes of Buckingham. Today it is The Queen's official residence, with 775 rooms. Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, areas of Buckingham Palace are opened to visitors on a regular basis.

    Here is Danielle at one the entrance gates to Buckingham Palace. Like everything else connected with the palace the gates are larger than life. They are quite beautiful with all of the gold and everything. They also make an ideal spot for a Kodak moment.

    In front of Buckingham palace, in the middle of the big roundabout, there is a big white statue. And on one side of thsi statue you can see Queen Victoria. And if you ask me she doesn't look very amused.

    Much like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace is one of those must see places in London. And here I add another picture to the hundreds already on VT of Buckingham Palace. We were in London during August 2002. This was during the celebration of the Queens anniversary. We toured the Palace really enjoyed it. However we had one small mishap. We were in one of the Queens reception rooms. While there I laid down my umbrella and left it. And as I stated in my cover page for London, we were there for one of the worst rainfalls of the year in London. So we had to buy another umbrella on the street after we left the Palace. If you go to London and take a tour of Buckingham Palace and happen to see the Queen with a small dark blue folding umbrella would you please let her know its mine.

    This is the official housing of the Royal Family. In the early days it was named Buckingham House, built in 1703, for the Duke of Buckingham. Queen Victoria declared in 1837 that this castle should be the Royal residence. Since 1993, you can visit some parts of this Palace in August and September. The entries are used to pay the fire damage. When the Royal Flag is up, this means that the Queen is home. Why didn’t she invite me for the afternoon tea ? ?
