Westminster Abbey
We will make a photo stop at this magnificent Gothic building that has been the site of every coronation since 1066 and is also the final resting place of many Kings and Queens of England, as well as famous people including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton.
Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
We alight at Buckingham Palace, to witness the Queen's Foot Guard in their red tunics and bearskins marching to the accompaniment of a military band- a colourful spectacle. (Or we will visit Horseguards Parade when this ceremony not available).
Runnymede and Magna Carta
We will drive past Runnymede, the site where King John met his barons in 1215 and agreed to seal the charter that became known as the Magna Carta, to prevent a civil war. We will also see the nearby memorial to John F. Kennedy
Windsor and Eton

The Old King's Head pub is said to be where Shakespeare wrote 'the Merry Wives of Windsor' and just before Windsor Bridge is Sir Christopher Wren's House, which was the family home of the famous architect. We will also see the famous Eton College, founded in 1440 Famous Old Etonians include Duke of Wellington, Harold McMillan to name but a few to Prince William and Prince Harry from the Royal family.
Windsor Castle
We will visit the official residence of the Queen and see the magnificent State Apartments, furnished with some of the finest works of art and still used for State occasions; St George's Chapel, where the tombs of many kings and queens lie, notably Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour and the Queen Mary's Dolls House, the most famous dolls house in the world.
