He’s put the England in New England
He’s my fave
Queen Elizabeth also buried there with her husband, parents and sister in a side chapel
The late Queen always said Windsor was home, her favourite place, Buckingham Palace was work, and Balmoral was family time.
you hit the nail on the head! "Be respectful" Thank you
I was in England a month ago. I was supposed to go and see Windsor Castle( my Graceland!!) 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. I had to get my own room and make my own flight home ( to Baltimore) the very day I was supposed to See Winsor. 😢😢
My Graceland? Cringe
@@MaxKingsley72 okay, bad choice of phrase, but it has been my dream for a long time to see Windsor Castle and St. George's chapel, and I was devastated when I was that close and had the tickets, but it fell apart.
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. 😊
You certainly are
Under that commemorative stone is a vault that genuinely DOES contain the remains (or what remains of them!) of several royals, including Henry VIII.
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.
I am a local resident in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead , and as such we are allowed free entry into the Castle. I have visited many times, there is always something special and new to see.
Shane the music was too loud.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@user-gt2ud2gw9e 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.
A magnificent castle but I wish when people make these videos don't drown out the audio with constant music, I felt I was constantly on hold on the phone!🤨 Hi Connor nice to see you.👍
The price has gone up by a tenner. £33 on the day or £30 if you book in advance. (Yes I just googled it)
You're looking well today. And this video has prompted me, a Londoner, to book a train ticket to Windsor! I hope that you get to visít all these great places one day too, Connor.
Hope you enjoy your trip!
Hey Connor, you should do a reaction to The Windsor Castle Fire that happened in 1992, as well as a documentary on the unfortunate event it also shows the restoration work that took place, all the artisans involved did a fantastic job, it's well worth a watch ❤
The state dining room burned down in 1991 so everything you see there is BRAND NEW - very impressive we can still build this way when needed to.
My wife and I lived about 3 miles from Windsor Castle for a year back in 2019, its a beautiful and historic and marvelous place. GSTK
Yes those walls encompass everything
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.
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!)
Windsor Castle and grounds is like a town within a town.
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.
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.
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 "
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 am beginning to be staggered, not for the first time, at the number of castles and other places of historic interest in the UK a lot I haven't seen. And I live here! I truly believe that you see your own country through another dimension when you see it with a visitor from another country. Which reminds me: why do my USA visitors keep commenting on grass, mown or otherwise.
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).
My brother and i used to go to Saturday morning pictures. It was brilliant so many kids. I remember the ABC button badges. We went to St Stephens, Trevelyan and PMRF schools. What about you.
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 CZcams 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.
Notice the brown grass the summers can be quite hot and dry but kind of short lived .
It’s so weird because I grew up in that area, worked in Windsor outside the castle and went partying in Windsor and drunkenly walked past the castle! I forget how impressive it is 😆 you can also walk over the river Thames in Windsor and visit Eton college.
Hi connor , your a very likeable young man and I admire your willingness to learn , windsor has grown bigger over the centuries it's huge 😊.
You so a fantastic job, I enjoy your channel, thank you
ALL of the Guards are Serving Members of the British Army and their duties not only includes normal Military Duties, ie Guarding Royal Palaces and Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, but they also fought in the Falklands War.
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!
CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON FALAISE, FRANCE, birthplace of William the Conquer?.. Thanks Thanks,, J.
Went up windsor castle yesterday, top tips always buy online in advance, adults day tickets are £30 and kids are £15.00, but theres a little stall on left side as you go in, where you can get your ticket stamped for free and turn your day tickets into 1 year passes
I will never forget a question in the comments of another YT video on Windsor Castle I fear by an American, "Why did they build it right under the Heathrow Airport flightpath?"
My mums best friend used to be the Head gardener here, one of my favourite stories he told was that of the queen's mother used to sneak out the back for a crafty cigarette.
Yes the walls got all the way around you see
Cutlery? I think he means porcelain/dinner services.
Connor, nice to know your name. I don't think that I have ever seen the inside of the castle before. That was amazing. Thank you. You said that you are not funny, but in your lack of funny, if you will, you are funny. At least, you make me laugh. Peace
I just checked, and it is £28/$35 to get into Windsor Castle now.
So what's keeping you, Connor?
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.
The quadrangle was where they used to do jousting tournaments.
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.
Henry V111's large wooden coffin IS there Connor. They opened the crypt up in, I think, the 19th century & found his coffin (he's encased in a lead one inside). Next to him are his 3rd wife Jane Seymour & King Charles 1'st. There are drawings of the actual crypt. I know it's bad...but I would love to open it & look at them.
I know, I have that morbid curiosity as well. Henry viii wooden coffin was rotted away with time when the Victorians opened the crypt and only the lead remains with his skeleton being visible through a tear- or so I read.
Yep the exterior wall goes round the lot.
Yes the wall goes all round
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.
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
Afraid not, at 3:40 you can see the Union flag is flying and not the Royal Standard - meaning the monarch isn't in residence.
@@skoodledoo I say depending on when it was filmed, and believe me I'm fully aware of the protocol with the different flags and meaning
Priministers president's visit Buckingham Palace. Which the Queen called work palace .Balmoral was her favourite and in Scotland she also has Sandringham.
I went there when I was 8 years in 1979.
Please react to his video on Buckingham palace, as he also goes around the grounds of it. An the grounds of Buckingham palace are fabulous with great grass and fantastic gardens, you will love it.
yes its all surrounded by castle walls, its massive,ive been there often,under the church is lots of old kings ans queens, aeroplanes fly over windsor every 30 seconds, very annoying, at the end of long walk is a statue fo a king on a horse, it son a hill, well worth the walk
You must see balmoral castle
I costs at present to visit Windsor Castle:
Adult: £30
Young Person: £19.50
(18-24)
Child: £15
(5-17)
Disabled: £15
Access companion and Under 5s Free
Very suprised that there is no discount for Pensioners.
Yeah the walls completely surround the castle
My great grandmother , lived in Church Lodge next door to castles St Albans street entrance , she went there as a housekeeper 1920s and was there til she died in the 70s . I never met her , her daughter my grandmother who was put up for adoption vaguely remembered being taken as a small child to see a lady who lived in a big house near a castle. I found her while researching my ancestry .
Love you Connor your mum must be so proud of you will send some brouchers of uk when I get enough.
Yes they go all the way around. Check out some ariel photos .😊😊😊
3 Miles Connor! Do you still want to mow it?
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! 🤣
yeah my favourite english castles are in wales
i like conwy, imposing looking structure built for 1 purpose
Check out the show, Escape to the chateaux. A channel 4 series. If you like episode 1 you will love the rest
Where else would Henry V111 be buried?
I visited it recently, and could not beleive it when I heard an American / canadian ask why Henry the 8th allowed the airport to be built so close to windsor Castle lol !!!
I was curious about the current ticket prices as I fancy a trip to Windsor myself, and it's now £33.00 ($41.43) on the day, £30 advance. Still worth it in my opinion!
Not your fault I know but the music spoiled this video , still interesting
The music is horrible I'm off
If you want to see the crypt then take a look for ' Allan Barton - The Antiquary '
Unfortunately it’s on the flight path of Healthrow so aircraft all day long every day.
Wooden Scaffolding and formers to build arches on. If you would like to see examples, there is a series of videos about building a real copy of a medieval castle, musing the original techniques and tools. It is called Geudelon and is available on CZcams, discussing and demonstrating the technologies they used in building the castle - look for 'Les Feux du Guedelon'.
czcams.com/play/PLbA01ZlxB0eceyOEcMd5HkqVMxCkTtNJJ.html
This would be a great video if the background music wasn't so intrusive. For someone with a degree of hearing impairment, I found it almost impossible to catch the commentary. What a shame. After the first few minutes I had to mute it.
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. 🤗
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.
"gu-VARD room" took me out lmaoooo
Yes its all inside the walls
Price for Windsor Castle Tour £30.00 in advance £33.00 on the day.
St George's Chapel is the resting place of monarch since Henry the 8th
Thirty years ago there were only Bobbys on duty, not armed specials or bag searches, before cultural enrichment. Also, I used to drive my bike inside to park on a terrace. Sigh.
Rubbish palaces have had armed police for aay more than 30 years, royal protection police and diplomatic police are and have been armed, there were nevef normal police guarding royal locations
Yes the airport style security, but always armed police
My home town
Apologies Connor (and Shane) ....correction to my last comment. Shane the narrator was, after all (right at the end), aware that the Castle sits under the Heathrow flight path, so I'm not sure why he seemed surprised at all the aircraft flying low directly overhead. At busy times there can be one plane flying over every minute and a half or so, since the airport I think handles between 40 and 50 aircraft landings an hour.
Lizzie herself is buried here....I think there are about 10/12 Royals here.
Didn't show the Doll's House which is astonishing.
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. 😮
We saw it years ago my grandad was a private silversmith and was Contracted by mappin and Webb to do all the dolls silverware
Must get moved at times as I was little boy and was definitely at castle
Actually she was the Queen of the United Kingdom ( hint it’s in the name) and Northern Ireland.
I would have walked the 3 miles as well :)
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.
All the coffins of the named people on the slab are in a tomb underneath.
The current cost for the tour is 23.50 pounds ($30 USD). So not much of a change from when the video was done.
I remember an American tourist asking why they built it so close to an airport 😂
Lived there donkeys years, never remotely interested in the castle! I know, but when you live there you just don’t notice. Even when it was on fire!
Long live the King of Australia!
When Prince Harry got married with Meghan Markle, they got the Frogmore Cottage to live in, which isn't a small house by any means but you can't compare it to the Windsor Castle, where Queen Elisabeth used to live. Meghan Markle wasn't happy with the Frogmore Cottage, she wanted to live in the Windsor Castle instead and when the Queen said no, she got pissed. The audacity!!!
Saw Princess Pinocchio and switched off
Such a shame they built the Castle under the flight path to Heathrow, a few miles down the road.😁
All the buildings shown here lie within the high perimeter walls. ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cmglee_Windsor_Castle_aerial_view.jpg )
I'm finding the music somewhat loud. It's tending to drown out the Narrator. A bit off-putting.
Just a short way in and Connor, you seem to be a bit confused by the concept of a Castle.
A Castle is a specific type of residence. In it's inception first and foremost, it was a Fortess. It was usually built to oversee, protect, and defend strategic locations and areas.
Most UK castles started being built almost a thousand years ago.
Mainly from the time of the Norman Conquest.
Most castles were built over generations. Added to, repaired, renovated, upgraded, and expanded over several centuries.
By their very existence, they needed to be able to withstand violent attacks and lengthy sieges.
This meant they needed to be as self-sufficient as possible. Producing their food, clothing, and everything they might need to survive. All contained within the protection of the castle.
A Castle usually contained several different buildings and areas for different trades and living conditions. Both for humans and animals.
Horses, cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, etc. require stables and pens.
A Blacksmiths forge, a Carpenters workshop, Weavers looms and Spinning wheels, etc. etc.
Like a small village, or compound. Frequently, it's own chapel or church for Baptisms, Marriages, Funerals, and regular Sunday prayers.
Ok. So now it should be easier to understand that, Yes, The outer Castle walls often, if not frequently, contained several different buildings and areas of land.
Also, the older the building and richer the owner, the more different styles of architecture get included, 'modernised' and added to and within the Castle over the years.
Having said all this, I hope it helps to understand better the concept of a castle at the time they were created.
Now, many are just ruined remains.
Others maintained as museums, or protected and preserved by the National Trust or English Heritage, etc. Financed by tourism, used as event locations, exhibitions, etc.
Some are still privately owned and actually inhabited by their Owners.
As can be imagined, they cost a fortune to maintain, so most of them are open to the public at certain times, and hold events and have a number of ways to ensure their maintenance and responsibility.
If I'm just repeating stuff already mentioned, or already known, apologies for wasting your time ... 😉
I'll get my coat! 👋
The music is far too loud
There are vaults underneath the church. The stone marker is above the alcove his coffin is located in, as well as the others listed.
An American once said of Windsor castle gee but i mean why would they build a castle on the approach to an airport!!!
Not only is Henry VIII buried there, so is Queen Elizabeth II
