白金汉宫Buckingham Palace

Located in Buckingham Palace Rd, London, SW1, the magnificent Buckingham Palace is the official London residence for the Queen, which also serves as receiving and entertaining guests both from home and abroad on state, ceremonial and official occasions. It was originally built in 1705 for the Duke of Buckingham. However in November 1992, the Windsor Castle got on fire, and since the summer of 1993, part of the palace has been open to the public so that the pay for the damage at Windsor Castle could be raised. But it became unexpected popular, therefore the Queen has continued to allow part of the palace still to be visited every summer,during which period the Queen herself will move to one of her country residences. And when the Queen is at home, her royal flag can be seen, which is flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace.

富丽堂皇的白金汉宫坐落于伦敦市威斯敏斯特城，它既是英国女王在伦敦的宫殿，又被用来接待和宴请外国宾客，同时还在此举行重要的仪式和活动。白金汉宫是在1705年，白金汉姆公爵所建，起初并不对外开放，但在1922年11月份温莎城堡发生火灾后，为了筹集修缮温莎城堡的资金，便从1933年夏天起将部分宫殿对外开放，因为此次游览大受欢迎，因此女王允许每年夏天都开放。这个时期，女王便会移至她的乡间住宅，当她在宫殿时，我们可以看到飘在宫殿上方的王旗。
