Photo TR: The Royal Town Of Windsor*

[MG]

Hi Everyone,

I decided to take a break from eating Cream Teas and reading the Sunday Times to bring you a brief insight into the town where I live, Windsor. Windsor is one of the oldest towns in the UK, still young at around 1000 years old.

Windsor is home to Her Majesty the Queen, who frequently visits. Windsor is/has been home to also James Blunt, Elton John, Terry Wogan, Alex Pettyfer and many others. It often hosts state visits such as US President George W Bush and French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

Anyway, Welcome to Windsor!

PS: If you have any questions about Windsor, any travel plans etc don't hesitate to ask me questions!

I spy the Queen is at home today! If the Union Jack flag is flying then she isn't at home; but if the Royal Standard is flying then she is at home!

Ah Memories............

 

I traveled down those cobblestone roads a few years back. Windsor Castle was an amazing site. Some friends and I took the full tour of the castle, and had a great time. I can't recall if the Queen was home or not, I'll have to look at my photos and see if I spot the flag.

 

Thanks for posting!
