Windsor, England Photo Gallery
Brian stayed at the port of Southampton and saw a movie while I went on a tour to Windsor.
We drove by Windsor Castle and the Long Walk, which is a 2 mile straight line walk from Windsor Castle gate to the King George Horse statue. Its located in Great Windsor Park and used for all kind of Royal activities, weddings, funerals, special occasions and most recently Prince Harry wedding.

Windsor Royal Station.
Interesting chimneys that remind me of the Mary Poppins movie.
Queen Victoria Statue-It was erected in 1887 in celebration of the queen's Golden Jubilee.

I went on a Royal Caribbean excursion by myself today, because Brian needed a break from all the touring we've been doing and the Roger's had already been here.
But I made some new friends that took these photos of me at the castle.
Henry III Tower.
Round Tower (The Keep)-The Round Tower's foundation dates back to the 11th century when William the Conqueror established Windsor Castle as part of his defensive ring of fortifications around London. Originally built from wood, the tower was later reconstructed in stone by Henry II in the 12th century.
A detail at George IV Gateway where I entered the castle.
I like the details on the lights,
The garden around the Round Tower was pretty.

The Horseshoe Cloister was built between 1478-1481 by King Edward IV for the priest vicars serving the Chapel. They were restored and re-modelled by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1871. They are now the homes of the Lay Clerks, the gentlemen of the choir.
