Buckingham Palace is instantly recognisable as a symbol of the
monarchy, of London and of Britain itself. But what goes on behind
the famous facade? Buckingham Palace is much more than a stone
backdrop to pomp and pageantry. Since Queen Victoria's time it has
been the official London residence for the ruling monarch and it
houses a superb collection of works of art, part of the Royal
Collection, but this is no rarefied museum. The headquarters of the
British monarchy, Buckingham Palace is that rare thing - a working
palace. Its state rooms form a magnificent setting for the official
and ceremonial duties carried out by Her Majesty The Queen as Head
of State of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth. This
souvenir guide takes you inside the Palace and highlights the
multiple roles Buckingham Palace plays - as a symbol, a royal
residence, a working palace and an exceptional art collection -
while offering a glimpse into one of the most famous buildings in
the world.
