  • Today I went to see the Queen! Had a lovely trip to Buckingham Palace London to see the sights, including St James Park and even some park pelicans!
    I then take you on a walking tour to Downing Street (no sight of Boris) and along to Trafalgar Square to see Nelsons Column.
    Thanks for watching, let me know you enjoyed it with a thumbs up 👍🏻

    Just a quick fact, you were right. The queen was either at Windsor Castle or Balmoral Castle. When the Union Jack is flying above the Palace, that means shes not home. However, when it's the royal coat of arms, she is.

    This was so great to look at as I was living in London in 80-81. You use to be able to walk up to 10 Downing Street. It's also nice to see it without the tourists as well.....the photos would be so nice. I have a photo of me sitting on the lion at Trafalgar Square.

    A lovely video. I have been inside Buckingham, Palace, twice now and each time I have enjoyed it. The Flag is only called the Union Jack, when flown on a Ship. Otherwise, it's a Union Flag. I have some videos, of London, ages ago and know where near as good as yours. I made one about The Temple Church.

    I believe (and I could be wrong) that the Union Jack/Flag is flown when HRH is traveling or staying at one of their other residences, and the Royal Standard is flown when they are at Buckingham Palace. The practice of flying the Union Jack when HRH isn't at Buckingham Palace started when Princess Diana died while The Queen was at Balmoral(?) and there was no flag being flown at Buckingham Palace to lower to half staff.

    Hi. Regarding the Flag at Buckingham Palace. If the plain Union Jack is flying the Queen is not Home. If the Royal Standard is Flying the Queen is Home. If a flag is flying at half mast then there has been a bereavements in the family. A flag flying at half mast is always a sign of a death and is a mark of respect. Just thought yo might like to know. 😊👍

    but the other way of telling if the Queen is at home is that all four sentry boxes will be manned. If she's not there only two guards are posted.

    Hi Hannah, How long have you been making these videos? I thought I was aware of all the London bloggers, I follow lots of them.
    I'm so glad I've now discovered your channel, I will have some catching up to do.
    I'm not a tourist, more of a native, but I never tire of listening to people talking about London, and listening to their perspective on it, also you give a nice tour. Incidentally I like the sunglasses look.
    I think Trooping the Colour was the name of the ceremony you were searching for, when describing the event that takes place every June on Horse Guard's Parade.
