The largest occupied castle in the world, Windsor Castle is probably the castle most associated with the British Royal Family. Even for non-monarchists, the castle merits a visit.
I happened to arrive at the changing of the guards. In true British tradition, this was done with a lot of ceremony and tradition, already visible in the uniforms of the soldiers and the musicians, but also in their movements, the shouts of the leaders, the formation in which they marched. I decided to leave the ceremony when it was almost over, and went into St. George Chapel. Construction of the Chapel started in 1475 and was completed fifty years later. This is the chapel of the most noble order of the Garter, the highest order of chivalry in Britain. Members include foreign monarchs and previous Prime Ministers. You will find ten monarchs buried in the chapel.
