Percutian ke Eropah (3 jul - 15 jul 2012) - London

Sementara nak menunggu train ke Gatwick, sempat gak merayau ke Buckingham Palace. Tak jauh sangat dari Victoria Stations, dalam 15 minit berjalan kaki.

Dalam renyai hujan di kota London, kami berdua menuju kearah Buckingham Palace, tempat tinggal Queen,  atau katanya seperti ini,
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence and principal workplace of the British monarch.[1] Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.  ini di petik dari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_Palace

Ini adalah tempat tumpuan pelancung apabila singgah ke Kota London ni... 




semuanya tertumpu di pintu masuk ke istana, kenapa yer?.. ohh rupa rupanya ada perbarisan pertukaran guard, changing of guard
petikan dari  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Guard

The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London. The British Army has regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign's palaces. They are not purely ceremonial as some may believe; they are real soldiers serving in the army.





Itulah rupanya guard ,, nak tengok sampai abis,...tak kesempatan, so bior ler ,,


 

Inilah rupa istananya...
