Buckingham Palace

8/4
One of the world’s most famous landmarks, Buckingham Palace is the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen. This morning we were able to walk through the State Rooms of this spectacular palace. Each of the rooms we visited were beautifully decorated.

Buckingham Palace was Buckingham House prior to King George IV. The King commissioned the architect John Nash to transform the stately house into the palace we recognize today.

I was only able to take photos outside, but the outside does hint to the grandeur found inside. Buckingham Palace is unique in that it is still a functioning royal palace.

After visiting the palace I went to get a picture of the guards and red telephone boxes.
