Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace
A trip to London in 2010 brings us to the London home of our Royal family. A drab day that does not bring out the best of the building. Behind it, is one of the nicest gardens in London. This weekend in May 2023, it is the scene of thousands of well-wishers as the pageantry of the Kings Coronation takes place with its marching bands and the royal family on the balcony too.

Built as a large townhouse for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte. It became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged with the construction of three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. ~ Wiki

Not as busy as it was today Herb................to be honest, I think Buck House is a pretty drab looking building.

Nicely captured though and worth viewing large for the excellent detail.

I was just going to say...ahhh, you were there to witness the coronation and everything that went with it, but then I saw the date on your photo. Oh well, this reminds me of several visits to London...and I did watch the coronation on TV :-)

The last time I went to London, my sister's car caught on fire on the way back to Camberley. We did take a look at the Palace, but you can guess what my lasting memory was ;-)
