We saw around the state rooms and watched the changing of the guards as well as looking through the St George's Cathedral. It was amazing to see the areas which had been restored after a fire. In some places they had simply turned the burnt floor boards over and resurfaced the other side.
The girls got to see the doll house which was made for Queen Mary. Although it was never to be a toy, the doll house has contributions from many different artists, furniture makers etc. It was to be a show case of all the best things in England, on a miniature scale. It even has running water!
Courtney liked the Cathedral most of all because of the area dedicated to the Knights of the Garter. Each Knight is permitted to select their coat of arms and above their seat they display their sword and 'colours'
