Windsor Castle

William the Conqueror, with the help of his army, commenced the construction of Windsor Castle. High above the River Thames, on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground, the castle was designed to guard the western approaches to the capitol.

I visited Windsor back in 1967 (or 8?). Very impressive and unforgettable.

I was just telling Fredo, Windsor Castle and Westminster Abbey, are two places which I have never visited! I have passed by Windsor Castle, many times, but never visited it

There are so many beautiful sights in England (and Wales). Sometimes I use Google Maps/Earth to 'fly' over there and visit places I've been. I get homesick for it.

I do hope you can get over here at some time - it would be marvelous! You know you have friends around here, who would love you to visit

I saw this on my visit to London.Been there twice on that trip.
This was many years ago.Back in the early nineties.

I have passed the Castle on numerous occasions but like Westminster Abbey, I have yet to visit it

Maybe next year I'll go down there for a week (London) - I quite fancy that actually

Beautiful photo and I'm delighted to see the Prince and his beautiful engagement after nine years. I suspect there will be many changes when his time to take over happens.. Interesting time ahead????

I think Windsor Castle is the best of the bunch. This is where the Queen calls 'home'. Buckingham Palace, is 'the office'.
I think William and Kate make a fabulous team

I heard they are making the prince's wedding day a national holiday. Oh how I would love to be there to see it all in person!

Yes they are YaY

I think we will see more, by watching the television - they'll flick from venue to venue - I am waiting in eager anticipation
