Abbey is the resting place to many of the British Monarchs
including the tombs of Elizabeth1 and Mary Queen of Scots, there
are also memorials to the famous such as Winston Churchill, one of
the most poignant parts of the Abbey is the tomb of the unknown
warrior, a body of a solider with no name rank or number who died
in France the First World War.
The abbey is
also the setting for coronations of Kings and Queens past and
present. The abbey is always very busy which does take away a
little of it's magic, but is a must see for any visitor to London.
Make sure you see West End Front Towers, Flying Buttresses , The
Lady Chapel and Chapter House. |
