Windsor Castle was always on my bucket list. It was everything and more. I loved the ambience, the art and tapestries. The China on display. The Order of the Garter room left me speechless, the history in that room was amazing. I enjoyed seeing Queen Mary's dolls house. My other major highlight has to be St. George's Chapel. Steeped in history. Visiting the tomb for Queen Elizabeth 11 along with Prince Philip and her parents was emotional. Visiting the tombs of all the other Royalty was an honour. Walking down the aisle where so many weddings took place was very special. The security staff and stewards made us feel so welcome. I will treasure my visit for ever.

Windsor Castle is more than a place of history. It's a place of active daily prayer, surrounded by history. I pray that our Father uses the daily prayer at St. George's chapel to reunite the church!
