Ever since I watched the replay of the coverage of Diana and Prince Charles' wedding, I had this dream of visiting the Buckingham palace one day and knowing what its like to witness it's grandeur before my eyes.
We all know that the Buckingham Palace at London is the official residence of Queen Elizabeth and the other Royal Family members. It's one of my favorite works of architecture. I think what makes it beautiful is its symmetry. Everything about it is symmetrical, from the windows, pillars and even the positioning of the guards. Another reason why I want to visit the palace is that, I want to see the traditional changing of the guards. I've heard all sorts of stories about it. You know about the guards at the palace right? They have this big black furry hat and red uniform. Their uniform is really fancy. At 11:30 am, the changing of the guard happens. Tourists from all over the world visit the Buckingham palace just to witness this ceremony. What happens is that the guards march in front of the palace and new guards take their place. It's like a parade. People say that it's really entertaining. I'm looking forward to see the Buckingham palace and watch the changing of the guard. <3>
