Day 6 - Windsor Castle



The garden grounds are absolutely beautiful at Windsor.  I look at them longingly from the open roadways through the complex, imaging strolling through them or bringing a book and just relaxing on a bench on the grounds. 









St George's Chapel. First built by Edward III in the 1300's.  It is maintained by the Order of the Garter and all of those members have their seats and plaques in the choir area.  This includes Prince Harry and Prince William. The building faced significant degradation in the early 1900s with bowing walls and stripped lead from the windows.  It underwent restoration. Along with Westminster it serves as a burial site for the royal family. 


We finally got a picture of Carson with one of the beefeater guards.  When we watched the changing of the guards at Buckingham, we couldn't get anywhere close.
