I can't believe that last weekend I was in London, where has this week gone!!
Sunday we visited the Royal Mews and the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, both were extremely interesting. I just can't believe we never been until now!
Irish State coach
the Glass Coach (the one used for Princess Diana's wedding and by the Duchess of Cambridge
the Australian State Coach
and lastly the Coronation Coach, weighs 4 tons covered in gold leaf as you can see It was amazing, It's so heavy that it take 25 yard to stop.
Unfortunately no photography is allowed in Buckingham Palace :(
But the state rooms were magnificent the decoration outstanding. There was an exhibition of the Queens dresses through her reign including her wedding dress and her Coronation robes.
At the end of the tour we went to have a drink the the Garden Tea room, which was lovely as it over looked the garden where the Garden Parties are held, but also the cakes are made by the same caterers that cater for the garden parties. So it would have been rude to not have one and I have to say they were delicious but not slimming world friendly. I had a Frazier and Joe a Miellefleur.
Joe took this with is 'super dooper' camera using a special effect!!
Our Royal Day Out tickets last for a year so we are already planning another trip to London!!!
