Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle (west of London) is home away from home for the royal family. We went there to see the castle, St. George's cathedral, the Queen's Doll House, and hoping to be able to get a view of private rooms. Alas, the queen was at home that day, so we didn't get to see her apartments. The rest was pretty cool though. There were three young ladies across the street from the entrance dressed like princesses. I'm not sure what they were there for - maybe just for show - but this one didn't seem overly happy at the moment.

The Royal Guard Band


We weren't allowed to get any closer than this to see the Royal Guard Band, and by the time we got there several people were in front of us. Nevertheless, I held my little camera up and shot this video ove rht e heads of the crowd. It worked out pretty well I thought.

Very nice. Was never that pretty when I was there. But then the queen wasn't around either, only the royal ghosts.
Good video of the band.
Did they let you into the dungeons?

Nice video and pictures. I was wondering for awhile where the band was.
