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 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.
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? :)
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!!
It's Buckingham Palace. See the guard waaaaaaaaaay in the background? :) It was a pretty extraordinary gate. :)
Now that is impressive!! Happy Wednesday, Rosey :)
So that is the gate at Buckingham Palace--no one is going to climb over that one very easily! It is magnificent!
Yep, there's no mistaking the fact they want to keep most everyone out! Goodness gracious!
It's really quite impressive! Love the photo, Rosey!
Wow! This is one big gate and quite a beauty, too.
That is quite the gorgeous gate! Have a happy Wednesday!!
Excellent door, nice photo!
A very ornate gate indeed!!!
WOW! That's the Buckingham Palace gate? Beautiful!
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.
The 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.
I live 10 minutes away from there Rosey :-)
Wow that is impressive!
Is that your son?
Rosey, where are your share buttons?
nice...the crest is really amazing...where is it?
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.
That is beautiful! I've never been to Buckingham Palace. That must have been quite the site. Have a terrific Wednesday!
Did you see me waving out the window of my house while you were there? :) Queen Christy

Yes, that's a gate and your husband. Don't forget about him.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺

Buckingham Palace in London, and I agree, it's amazing. :)
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. :)
I knew that was you!! I told my husband, 'Look, it's Queen Christy!' :)
Can 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. :)
What a lovely sight I'd day! Have a lovely day dear!

If I were going to travel outside the US, the UK would be my first choice. I would like to see Buckingham Palace.
That is one big arse gate
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! :)

Cleaning it would be a complete cow of a job. It is stunning though.
NOW THAT IS A HECK OF A GATE!
Interesting decorations. Can't make out what they are. That is a huge gate.
I worked on my graduate thesis in London and I remember thinking how big the gate was when I went :) It's an impressive sight!

What a beautiful photo. I can't wait to take my toddler to the UK soon and chronicle our trip. I've been there before but this will be her first trip.
I wanna see that gate for real! Oh so classy!
I've got a picture standing in front of that gate as well! It is an impressive place...I wish that I could go back some day. :)
I've been there a few times but never realised how big the gates are :)
Looks awesome
I have always said I want to go there ...
ONE DAY :)
I really want to go to London. Hopefully!
I had no idea how ornate the Buckingham Palace gate was. How awesome you got a chance to see this.
I would sooo love to see Buckingham Palace, and to catch a glimpse of British royalty. Nice photos!
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!
its on my bucket list to go to England! I want to see Buckingham Palace, London Bridget, go to a real PUB so many things I want to do and try
