Opening Parliament

Posted by AR on November 18th, 2009 filed in Journaling through England

The last time we were in London, we made sure to check out the gate the Queen enters to open Parliament. It is called the Sovereign’s Entrance. St. Paul’s Cathedral has one, too. It is a door that is only opened when the Queen arrives. This morning (November 18) the Queen of England and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in a horse-drawn carriage at this location—the Houses of Parliament in central London for the State Opening of Parliament. http://tinyurl.com/crpeby
