Westminster Abbey!
Originally uploaded by ecuk07.
After lunch we proceeded to Westminster Abbey: House of God ~ House of Kings. Originally founded in 960 AD as a Benedictine Monastary, its focus currently resides on worship and welcoming visitors. The beautiful vaulted ceilings and the craftsmanship of the carved tombs was only part of the experience. We were able to see the tombs of Elizabeth I and Mary I, Mary, Queen of Scots, Henry VII among others, and we visited the Henry VII Chapel, the Coronation Chair, the Poets Corner, and the Grave of the Unknown Warrior - just to name the highlights.
Pictures were not allowed inside the abbey, but I have included a link to the right if you are interested in seeing or learning more about Westminster Abbey!
