What is the two shields there. Trying to make it out, but just not sure. Guess back in the day they needed to feel safe maybe when it was built that's why it's so huge. I thought they had guards outside the gate.
That trip was before I started a blog, but it would have been great for me and my family to meet up with you for a hello in person! London is my husband's most favorite place to visit, hands down, ever. :) You live in a great place!
That's my husband, but it was six or seven years ago. :) LOL, I don't know where my share buttons are, hahahaa. I used them today, so maybe only I can see them? :)
That sure is a gate ... and a huge gate at that. I wonder how many men and boys it takes to open it by hand? I am sure it is controlled electrically these days.
It didn't open when we were there. I don't think the queen was there either because there were only two guards outside. It's been awhile, but I think I read if there are two outside the front door, that means the queen is not there. I do know they were in grey coats because it was cold and rainy. More often they are in red. :)
Meh, you all have seen his picture before. ;) KIDDING! And you totally made me laugh. My husband is giddy happy in that picture because he's totally head over heels about all things London. Even though that pic is a bit fuzzy, it's still one of my favorites of him (aforementioned reason being why). :)
That gate is huge AND ornate. (surprised Pat Hatt didn't say that.) I also learned that Steve as in Stevebethere only lives 10 minutes away. Small world! :)
I've always wanted to travel, especially to the UK. Now it is too late (for many reasons). But I enjoy looking at the pictures of other people's journeys, it almost makes me feel as though I went on the vacation with them. Thanks!
Holy crackers - where is that? It's the biggest gate I've ever seen!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Buckingham Palace. See the guard waaaaaaaaaay in the background? :) It was a pretty extraordinary gate. :)
DeleteNow that is impressive!! Happy Wednesday, Rosey :)
ReplyDeleteSo that is the gate at Buckingham Palace--no one is going to climb over that one very easily! It is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteYep, there's no mistaking the fact they want to keep most everyone out! Goodness gracious!
ReplyDeleteIt's really quite impressive! Love the photo, Rosey!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is one big gate and quite a beauty, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the gorgeous gate! Have a happy Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent door, nice photo!
ReplyDeleteA very ornate gate indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's the Buckingham Palace gate? Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the two shields there. Trying to make it out, but just not sure. Guess back in the day they needed to feel safe maybe when it was built that's why it's so huge. I thought they had guards outside the gate.
ReplyDeleteThe Royal Coat of Arms is on the shields. We saw guards inside the gate when we visited, but I've seen pictures of guards outside of it on horses.
DeleteI live 10 minutes away from there Rosey :-)
ReplyDeleteThat trip was before I started a blog, but it would have been great for me and my family to meet up with you for a hello in person! London is my husband's most favorite place to visit, hands down, ever. :) You live in a great place!
DeleteWow that is impressive!
ReplyDeleteIs that your son?
Rosey, where are your share buttons?
That's my husband, but it was six or seven years ago. :) LOL, I don't know where my share buttons are, hahahaa. I used them today, so maybe only I can see them? :)
Deletenice...the crest is really amazing...where is it?
ReplyDeleteBuckingham Palace in London, and I agree, it's amazing. :)
DeleteThat sure is a gate ... and a huge gate at that. I wonder how many men and boys it takes to open it by hand? I am sure it is controlled electrically these days.

DeleteThat is beautiful! I've never been to Buckingham Palace. That must have been quite the site. Have a terrific Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteDid you see me waving out the window of my house while you were there? :) Queen Christy
ReplyDeleteI knew that was you!! I told my husband, 'Look, it's Queen Christy!' :)
DeleteCan you even imagine what it's like to live in such a place? I wonder if we'd love it, or if we'd miss the cozy, comfy nooks we have now. :)
Yes, that's a gate and your husband. Don't forget about him.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺
Meh, you all have seen his picture before. ;) KIDDING! And you totally made me laugh. My husband is giddy happy in that picture because he's totally head over heels about all things London.

DeleteWhat a lovely sight I'd day! Have a lovely day dear!
