Several years ago I worked as a comms engineer for Thames Valley Police. One of the radio stations I mantained was in Windsor Castle, situated on the top of the Round Tower right underneath the flag pole. The Round Tower is about four or five floors and contains all the royal archives, including documents and letters etc, going back over many hundreds of years. It is a historian's treasure trove. The flag on the top of the Round Tower is absolutely massive, even though it does not look like it from the ground looking up. The base of the flagpole descends into a room inside and is secured by four huge oak beams. I loved visiting Windsor Castle to work on a regular basis and needed a special pass to enter the Round Tower, which is a fascinating place.

[@ChristopherStendeck]

My house is essentially at the other end of the long walk. There's a lake, a little waterfall, and an "enchanted forest" at that end. Botanical gardens and tea rooms and things like that in-between. Sometimes I walk around the lake, and/or to the castle and back. It's a nice part of England to live in, I'm very lucky. 😊

There is a brick crypt under the tombstone of Henry. The crypt contains Henrys huge coffin, the smaller one of Jane Seymour, the later coffin of Charles 1st and a tiny coffin of a child of Queen Annes. It was opened in the Victorian era and there is a drawing of it online if you search. The Waterloo Gallery has paintings of all the key allied figures of the Napoleonic wars. Theres some gorgeous paintings in there.

[@johnm8224]

Under that commemorative stone is a vault that genuinely DOES contain the remains (or what remains of them!) of several royals, including Henry VIII.

[@OrganMusicYT]

I'm from Scotland. I have never been to Windsor, but any time I have driven past along the motorway, I have to say, the sheer scale of the castle is damn impressive. On a different scale, but more local to me is Culzean Castle designed by Robert Adam in the 1700s using an earlier castle for the core. The setting of the formal terraced gardens and the castle sitting ontop of the cliff never fails to impress me.

[@JohnResalb]

Scotland is in no-way short on spectacular castles, and the architectural style is uniquely different. This is probably because they obviously were constructed while Scotland was an independent nation, and a lot of tourists don't realise such matters when they're busy clicking away with their cameras. I believe there was much influence from the French.

[@OrganMusicYT]

@@JohnResalb Culzean Castle in it's present form was built long after the Acts of Union. Robert Adam, by the time it had come to the design and construction of Culzean, had already been designing houses for the rich and powerful across the UK for some time. Out of them all though, I think Culzean was his longest project, it went on from 1772 till 1790, though the work wasn't completed till after his death.

[@leehallam9365]

There are 11 monarchs buried there, as well as Henry VIII, there is Henry VI Edward IV, Charles I, George III, George IV, William IV, Edward VII, George V, George VI and Elizabeth II. The big place for monarch burials though is Westminster Abbey. There are 30 of them there. Just one I believe at St Paul's- Aethelred The Unready.

[@marklivingstone3710]

When the fire happened, Prince Andrew (who was there at the time) organized a squad of people to roll the carpet in the Waterloo Chamber and carry it out and to remove as much furniture and as many paintings as possible. The paintings were cut from their frames and rolled up. Everything saved was restored and returned to the Waterloo Chamber after the restoration. There’s a great video about the fire and the subsequent rebuild. One fifth of the castle was destroyed in the fire and has been completely restored.

[@jamgart]

The price has gone up by a tenner. £33 on the day or £30 if you book in advance. (Yes I just googled it)

However, my "best friend" of over 25 years, who I was traveling with, had a mental breakdown the day before, and threw me out of our hotel room, keeping our plane tickets with her.

[@lawrenceglaister4364]

About those doors and you thought " who do you think you are , the queen " lol . There is a story about the Queen walking on the Balmoral est and a Scottish man said hello while passing her and she replied hello he suddenly stopped after realizing who she was and said " Oh Lord " she immediately replied. " Not quite "

[@EarthAcademy9]

Hello there! I'm from Windsor & yes those great & extremely thick walls (up to 4' thick in places) encircle what you are viewing. And over the years I've a lot of disrespectful people bother the guards, which is very silly, considering they're trained killers, wearing very cumbersome & hot uniforms. To answer your question, the quire is, indeed, constructed of wood (oak). Henry VIII's body is not directly under any slab in the chapel, but in the vault. There's an interesting video on KZbin called 'Opening the Coffin of Henry VIII'. You might find it interesting. The Long Walk is 3 miles long. You are correct in that the image you are looking at is about a mile long there. The Long Walk goes all the way up to a statue, called The Copper Horse, of King George III in Windsor Great Park. When I was at school there, we had to run along it. Looking back at that now, that's pretty cool. But it wasn't my favourite thing to do.

[@sdm9099]

We've been invited to Windsor Castle for a few events. At one we were asked to drive our vintage car into the private courtyard to put it on display whilst we attended a reception with Prince Philip in the large St. George's Hall (which he referred to as the state dining room). It was VERY cool to drive into the main gates passing the tourists although not so cool to tell the footman to keep the Queen's corgis away from the car as he walked them on the lawn. At another, we got to watch the Queen and all the Knights of the Garter process from the main castle to St. Georg's Chapel for a service. They passed within arms reach of us. We have done a couple of drive pasts, one for the Queen and one for Prince Philip. With these we got to drive into the castle into the monarch's private courtyard to go past the Queen/Prince Philip and then out and down the Long Walk. Once we attended an event at the Chapel Royal in the Windsor Great Park (the Queen's usual place of worship) where we fed canapés to Prince Andrew's dog that had escaped his footmen. A most impressive place and so worth visiting (even if just as a tourist!)

[@alisonlinnell8943]

[@raesmith145]

The paintings you see in the Waterloo chamber, were painted directly onto the walls during the second World War, by an evacuee. All the really expensive paintings were hidden during this time. The pictures were of characters from Christmas pantomimes and fairy tales. This was so that the then princesses Elizabeth and Margaret could still put on Christmas entertainment.

[@glynwhite6168]

I witnessed the Order of the Garter, as an RAF member of staff of the Constable of the Tower, within the inner sanctum of the castle. Will live with me forever.

[@paulgreen3361]

When I was a child in the early 1970’s it was free to visit Windsor Castle, you wasn’t search before you entered back then either. Also you could walk around a lot more of the castle back then than you can now.

[@paulharvey9149]

The letter U is a relatively new one, Connor. It's sound used to be represented by the V. The Royal coffins are in vaults that lie beneath the stones that name the occupants, including a large, central one into which we saw the coffin of the late Queen being lowered through the floor of the choir, in 2022. Though it is the final resting place for some, she was later moved into the George VI Chapel, in which her parents - King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, her husband Prince Philip and the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret, also lie. Always intended for these four occupants, this vault is now full - which is why the late Princess Margaret had to be cremated, in order to fit in there beside them. There is also a Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore on the Windsor Estate, but as this tends to be used for Royal Family Members, it will be interesting to see where King Charles and Queen Camilla are laid to rest. They are technically of a different Royal Dynasty, the name of which should have changed upon the Accession of Queen Elizabeth II, but didn't!

[@an4189]

Flight paths are often above places like this as Britain is very densely populated and residents will often object to a flight path over their homes, so a large royal residence where not many people live is often a perfect place for it.

[@gaelsomerville5163]

The long walk takes you up to a statue known as the Copper Horse. This is in the deer park and you often see red deer roaming around. From the Copper Horse it is about a mile and a half to the Savill Gardens which are beautiful and have a nice restaurant. There are many other places in Windsor Great Park to explore including Virginia Water, the Valley Gardens, Smiths Polo lawn, and the Roman ruins. If exploring Windsor Great Park it is often easier to park at Savill Gardens and roam from there.

[@annbottelli5682]

Shane the music was too loud.

[@JohnResalb]

Yes, their original "back yard" was three miles long, but today its all open to the public, good for joggers with of-course no cars. You asked about enclosures within the castle walls - yes, everything you saw is enclosed. I recently met some Americans who told me they're staying in an air B&B in the suburbs, and that's probably the best and cheapest way to benefit from a longish stay, which you'll need if you're going to see all these places. There's historical stuff in almost every town - castles as common as McDonald's.!

I was born and raised in Windsor and as a child I could go to Saturday Morning Pictures at the ABC cinema and afterwards go in to the Castle grounds for free, you paid extra and separately to go into the State Apartments, Queen Marys Dolls House, The Round Tower and The Curfew Tower (that's where one of the dungeons are) and St George's Chapel, and yes as kids we did tease the guards, however we didn't ever cross the line on the ground now replaced by the barrier rope. Henry VIII is buried in the Chapel however not directly under the black slab, if you lift that slab you would find a small anti chamber and the bodies are located a bit nearer the high altar. And yes everything you see in the film is within the curtain wall (the outer wall).

[@sandrabutler8483]

Depending on when this was filmed the late Queen would've been in residence. The Castle covers around 13 acres the whole compound about 5000 acres, you can fit The White House in the Quadrangle and still have space. Some of the Castle has been rebuilt after a fire in 1992, they luckily had already moved quite a good deal of items as it was undergoing work, it was a builders lamp which caused the fire, it was actually a very small fire from what it could have been. The late Majesty is buried along with her husband, sister only member too have been cremated so she could fit in the space with her mother and father

Yes dignities were buried in the floor in churches with gravestones to mark the location, if you lifted the grave marker you would find a small sealed cellar (crypt) beneath the floor with the coffin and possibly an offering jar. Also some people, particularly the early medieval dignities are out in the open in the ornate stone coffins with carved statue representations of them lying atop the lids.

Hi .... I just checked the prices (April 2024). Entry to Windsor Castle is £30.00 per adult if booked in advance, young persons aged 18-24 are £19.50, children aged 5-17 are £15.00, disabled persons are £15.00 (their access companions have free entry), children under 5 are also free. Prices levied on the day/at the gate are a little higher and subject to availability (e.g. £33.00 for standard adult entry). The narrator seemed surprised at the frequent noisy low flying aircraft passing overhead, seemingly unaware of the fact that Windsor Castle sits right under the flight path for aircraft taking off and/or landing (depending on which runways are being used) at neighbouring London Heathrow Airport. Approaching from the west (if landing), passengers are afforded spectacular views of the Castle and Windsor Great Park. There's a funny apocryphal tale of a long-haul flight from the United States coming in to land at Heathrow. The pilot announces over the PA system that passengers on one side of the aeroplane should get a great view of the Castle, and that they should look out to see if the Royal Standard (flag) is flying from the Castle Keep, thereby denoting that the queen is in residence. As the magnificent site of the 1,000 year-old castle complex comes into view, one American passenger turns to his neighbour and comments "Wow! It looks amazing, ..... but why on earth did they build it so close to the airport?!?!?!). As I said, I'm sure it's an apocryphal tale, but it made me laugh the first time I heard it. 🤗

[@AnneDowson-vp8lg]

When the commentator referred to the jets flying over and seemed surprised, I think he was being ironic, because everyone in Britain knows that Windsor Castle is very near to Heathrow Airport. I have sat in a traffic jam on the M25 motorway, able to see Windsor Castle and watched the planes fly over. There really are one every 3 minutes.

Connor, King Henry VIII’s corpse was identified by the remaining ginger hairs in his head and beard - as well as his sheer bulk. King Charles was identified by the fact that his head was sewn on following his beheading and the shattered cervical spine was evident so please try not to be so unbelieving about such matters. Remember, we have the identified mummies of Egyptian pharaohs from over 3000 years ago so finding the remains of an English king after a few hundred years is not such an achievement.

[@markjones127]

Fancy castles like that are lovely and all, I mean it's still a castle, but I don't find it very exciting and a lot of it is more fortified house than castle these days too, it's all a bit too nice for me, I prefer your more rugged looking castles like Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris or Caernarfon, although my favourite castle is Dolwyddelan castle, small but in such a dramatic location well off the beaten track, as I child we'd go past it on the train every few weeks visiting my grandmother, so I have very fond and romantic memories of it, and I've been up to it several times as an adult too being an avid hiker and wild camper, it's set right up in the mountains, as a kid I always used to imagine it was Camelot! 🤣

[@chixma7011]

When I saw it many years ago Queen Mary’s Doll’s House was on display at Frogmore House, not Windsor Castle. I have no idea whether it has been moved to the Castle since then. Frogmore House is part of the Windsor Estate which is vast, comprising some 5000 acres with many houses and cottages for members of the Royal Family, whether senior or very junior, and the many staff who work on the Estate. It is also where other Royals are buried, including the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII, the late Queen’s uncle who abdicated in 1937 and lived in exile in Paris for the rest of his life. Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It’s a huge privilege to be able to not only visit but to be able to take your time marvelling at some of the wonders it contains without being hurried along. I’m absolutely with you about the Chapel ceiling, Connor. It’s quite astonishing. Frightening to think that just about every old church and cathedral in the country can boast something similar. 😮
