Back in London after a 3 night stay in Paris, the tour continues. We had a beautiful sunny day so we headed to West London to see Windsor Castle. With Julie back to work, I took our honored guests through the castle that I had not yet seen. Founded in 1066 this has been the home of 39 monarchs and is the oldest royal residence still in use. Windsor is the largest castle in the world, and is a weekend residence for the Royal family. It is used as an alternative to Buckingham Palace for ceremonial visits by foreign heads of state. The Queen at 83 years old still rides her horse each day when she is at the Castle.
