Buckingam Palace by Florian

Buckingam Palace
Buckingam Palace is the main house of the royal monarchy. It was an old manor: that of Ebury. During the 18th century, B.P was transformed into a palace. It is a much visited place during festivities/holidays. Many attend to the Changing guards. Guards are dressed in black and red and they are wearing large fur hats.

During the Changing of the guards, soldiers march on the Palace Square. It was created between 1702 and 1705. Many kings and queens have lived there but the last being Queen Elisabeth II.

So this is one of the few palaces to have political function!
