Windsor August 2002

 

As part of our travels around England & Wales, we were in the Royal Town of Windsor during August 2002. Obviously the main attraction of Windsor, is the Castle. It is the largest occupied castle in the world, and has been a royal palace and fortress for over 900 years, and is still a residence to the British Royal Family. There is another major attraction in the Town of Windsor, and it shares it's place alongside the Castle in the UK's top 20 attractions... It is Legoland! Though, we didn't visit that.

On this day... It was the Union Jack!
