A Royal Day Out: Buckingham Palace and London

 

 

Buckingham Palace: A Royal Icon

Buckingham Palace has stood as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837 and remains the administrative heart of the British monarchy. While it serves as a venue for countless royal ceremonies, events, and receptions hosted by The King, visitors can experience its grandeur firsthand during the summer when the State Rooms open to the public.

A Working Palace

Far more than a historical landmark, Buckingham Palace is a hub of activity and tradition, playing a central role in the UK’s constitutional monarchy. From hosting foreign Heads of State to honoring outstanding achievements at Investitures and receptions, the Palace is a symbol of the nation’s rich heritage and royal pageantry.

The World-Famous Balcony

The balcony at Buckingham Palace has become a globally recognized symbol of celebration. Its first royal appearance dates back to 1851 when Queen Victoria stepped onto it during the Great Exhibition. Since then, it has been the setting for many historic moments, including VE Day celebrations in 1945, Jubilee milestones, Trooping the Colour ceremonies, and the stunning RAF centenary Fly-Past in 2018 featuring 100 aircraft.
