Buckingham Palace. Букингемский дворец

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British monarch in London, England. The Palace is a setting for state occasions and royal entertaining, a base for many officially visiting Heads of State, and a major tourist attraction. It has been a rallying point for the British people at times of national rejoicing, crisis or grief. "Buckingham Palace", "Buck House" or simply "The Palace" commonly refers to the source of press statements issued by the offices of the Royal Household.

Originally known as Buckingham House, the building forming the core of today"s palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1762 as a private residence. It was enlarged over the next 75 years, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th century, when the large east wing facing The Mall was added, and the former State entrance, Marble Arch, was removed to its present position near Speakers" Corner in Hyde Park. The east front was refaced in Portland stone in 1913 as a backdrop to the Victoria Memorial, creating the present-day public face of Buckingham Palace, including the famous balcony.

The Palace contains 77,000 squared meters of floorspace (828,818 squared feet). The principal rooms of the Palace are contained on the piano nobile behind the west-facing garden facade at the rear of the Palace. The centre of this ornate suite of State Rooms is the Music Room, its large bow the dominant feature of the facade. Flanking the Music Room are the Blue and the White Drawing rooms. At the centre of the suite, serving as a corridor to link the state rooms, is the Picture Gallery, which is top lit and 55 yards (50 m) long. The Gallery is hung with works by Rembrandt, van Dyck, Rubens, and Vermeer, among many others. Other rooms leading from the Picture Gallery are the famous Throne Room and the Green Drawing Room. The Green Drawing room serves as a huge anteroom to the Throne Room, and is part of the ceremonial route to the Throne from the Guard Room at the top of the Grand Staircase. The Guard Room contains a white marble statue of Prince Albert, in Roman costume set in a tribune lined with tapestries. These very formal rooms are used only for ceremonial and official entertaining. Directly underneath the State Apartments is a suite of slightly less grand rooms known as the semi-state apartments. Opening from the marble hall, these rooms are used for less-formal entertaining, such as luncheon parties and private audiences. Some of the rooms are named and decorated for particular visitors, such as the "1844 Room", which was decorated in that year for the State visit of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia. At the centre of this suite is the Bow Room, through which thousands of guests pass annually to the Queen"s Garden Parties in the Gardens beyond. The Queen uses privately a smaller suite of rooms in the North wing.

At the back of the Palace, large and park-like, is the Garden. Here the Queen hosts her annual garden parties each summer, but since June 2002, she has invited the public into the Garden on numerous occasions. For example, for Queen"s Golden Jubilee (2002) and her 80th birthday (2006). More than 50,000 people visit the palace each year as guests to banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and the royal garden parties.

The State Ballroom is the largest room at Buckingham Palace. It was added by Queen Victoria and is used for ceremonies such as state banquets. During the current reign court ceremony has undergone a radical change, and entry to the palace is no longer the prerogative of just the upper class. There has been a progressive relaxation of the dress code governing formal court uniform and dress. In previous reigns, men not wearing military uniform wore knee breeches of an 18th-century design. Women"s evening dress included obligatory trains and tiaras and/or feathers in their hair. After World War I, when Queen Mary wished to follow fashion by raising her skirts a few inches from the ground, she requested a Lady-in-Waiting to shorten her own skirt first to gauge the King"s reaction. King George V was horrified and Queen Mary"s hemline remained unfashionably low. And King George VI and Queen Elizabeth allowed daytime skirts to rise. Today there is no official dress code. Most men invited to Buckingham Palace in the daytime choose to wear service uniform or morning coats, and in the evening, depending on the formality of the occasion, black tie or white tie. If the occasion is "white tie" then women, if they possess one, wear a tiara. Security Guards march out of Buckingham Palace at the end of the daily.

The famous armed sentries on guard on the Palace forecourt are commonly thought to be ceremonial, but they have always had a security role. The Palace also contains its own police station, and the Royal Family have their own protection officers at all times. The Foot Guards battalion at Wellington Barracks is only 300 yards (275 m) away. The units at Chelsea Barracks (Foot Guards) and Hyde Park Barracks (Household Cavalry) are both three-quarters of a mile away (1.2km).The sights around Crowds walk down the Mall towards the Palace and the Victoria Memorial. The flags interspersed with the Union Flag indicate a Norwegian State Visit in progress. Adjacent to the Palace is the Royal Mews, also designed by Nash, where the royal carriages, including the Gold State Coach, are housed. Also housed in the Mews are the carriage horses used in royal ceremonial processions. The Mall, a ceremonial approach route to the Palace, was designed by Sir Aston Webb and completed in 1911 as part of a grand memorial to Queen Victoria. It extends from Admiralty Arch, up around the Victoria Memorial to the Palace forecourt. The reddish colour of the Mall"s tarmac recalls the red carpet of former times. This route is used by the cavalcades and motorcades of all visiting heads of state, and by the Royal Family on state occasions such as the annual State Opening of Parliament as well as Trooping the Colour each year.

Buckingham Palace is the official home of the Queen. It was rebuilt by John Nash in the early 1800s, and was added to in Victorian times. It is a busy royal office, and state occasions are held there.

Palace Life

The Queen and Queen’s Family stay at the Palace on weekdays. They have rooms on the first floor of the north wing. When the Queen is staying the Royal Standard flag is flown above the central balcony. About 400 people work at the Palace, including domestic servants, chefs, footmen, cleaners, plumbers, gardeners, chauffeurs, electrIcians, and two people who look after the 300 clocks. About 80 employees live in the Palace rooms.

Part of the Queen’s apartment is a sitting room-cumoffice where she works. Every morning during breakfast bagpipes are played on the terrace outside her private dining room. Prince has his own office and library.

The Palace has its own post-office and its mail is sent free, because Britain’s postal service, the «Royal Mail», is run with the Queen’s permission. In the morning lorries eliver fruit and vegetables to the Palace from the royal farms. There are about 600 rooms at the Palace, on three main floors.

On the third floor there are wardrobe rooms full of the Queen’s clothes and jewels. Assistants make sure every outfit is in perfect condition. They are all carefully listed and indexed, and records are kept of the outfits the Queen has worn on every occasion.

The royal family stands on the central balcony at the front of the Palace to wave to the crowds on important occasions. Behind this famous Balcony is a room decorated with yellow silks and Chinese-style furniture and wallpaper.

The Queen’s Gallery is open to the public on most weekdays. It houses paintings, drawings and furniture from the royal collection, including portraits of members of the royal family who have lived at the Palace.

The 40-acre private garden has its own lake and a stock of pink flamingos. Every year garden parties are held there, with thousands of guests invited from all walks of life. Sometimes the Queen walks her dogs around the grounds. There is an indoor swimming pool and a cinema at the Palace, too.

Some of the grandest rooms in the Palace are the State Apartments, on the first floor of the west wing. They include the White, Green and Blue Drawing Rooms, each decorated to march their names. There is a Music Room, a State Dining Room with a table for 60 guests, and a huge ballroom where medals are presented at special ceremonies.

Five regiments of Foot Guards from the Household Brigade mount regular guard outside the Palace. The Guard is changed in the Palace forecourt when the Queen is in residence. The ceremony lasts for about half an hour.

The Royal Mews

On some weekday you can visit the Palace Royal Mews, and see the horses and coaches used by royalty, including the Gold State Coach and the glass coach used at royal weddings. On a visit to the Mews you may see a royal car driving in or out. There are about twenty, mostly Rolls Royces. Instead of licence plates the Queen’s official cars show the royal coat of arms.

Букингемский дворец

Букингемский дворец (англ. Buckingham Palace) - официальная лондонская резиденция британских монархов и самый большой действующий королевский дворец в мире. В настоящее время это резиденция королевы Елизаветы II.

Первоначально Букингемский дворец был известен как дом Букингэма, построенный для герцога Букингемского в 1703 году. Он был приобретён королём Георгом III в 1762 для его частной резиденции (Сент-Джеймский дворец перестал устраивать его и величиной, и отделкой). В течение последующих 75 лет архитекторы Джон Нэш и Эдвард Блор (автор Алупкинского дворца) построили три флигеля вокруг центрального двора.

Дворец был официально объявлен главной резиденцией британских монархов при вступлении на престол королевы Виктории в 1837 году. В её правление были сделаны последние большие дополнения, постройка ещё одного флигеля и перенесение бывшего парадного входа, Мраморной Арки (Marble Arch), на нынешнее место возле Ораторского уголка в Гайд-парке. Перед дворцовыми воротами стоит монумент в честь королевы Виктории.

Первоначальный георгианский интерьер включал искусственный мрамор и синий и розовый ляпис. Король Эдуард VII сильно переделал его в стиле французской Belle ?poque в кремовые и золотые тона. Многие маленькие приёмные покои были обставлены в китайском стиле мебелью из королевского дворца в Брайтоне и из дворца Карлтон-Хаус.

Сады Букингемского дворца - самые большие частные сады в Лондоне, первоначально созданы Lancelot «Capability» Brown и позднее переделены Вилльямом Эйлтоном и Джоном Нэшем. Большой искусственный пруд был закончен в 1828 году.
Здание Парламента

В Вестминстерском дворце, одном из самых знаменитых зданий мира, размещается парламент Великобритании: палата лордов и палата общин.
Первый дворец был построен для короля Эдуарда Исповедника, вступившего на престол в 1042 году. Сорок пять лет спустя Вильгельм Руфус, сын Вильгельма Завоевателя, велел построить Вестминстер-холл - самый изысканный зал в Европе, где в 1099 году был устроен пир.
В XIII веке Генрих III пристроил расписную палату, и во время его правления был созван первый парламент (от французского глагола "parler"- говорить). В 1265 году сюда были приглашены рыцари из графств и представители разных городов. Через 30 лет парламент стал более демократичным, так как его члены уже не назначались, а выбирались.
С 1550 года заседания палаты общин и палаты лордов по-отдельности проходили в богато украшенной часовне св. Стефана. В это время великолепие Вестминстер-Холла было дополнено удивительно красивым балочным перекрытием из резной древесины дуба. Когда в 1660 году на престол взошел Карл II, череп Оливера Кромвеля был повешен на пике, установленной на крыше, где и оставался в течение 25 лет.
В XIX веке основной проблемой стал рост населения. Планы перестройки города пришлось ускорить после того, как однажды ночью небо над Лондоном озарилось неистовым пламенем пожара. Вестминстерский дворец был охвачен огнем в 1834 году. Его восстановление поручили сэру Чарльзу Бэрри, что он и сделал в великолепном готическом стиле с помощью Августа Пугина, выполнившего живописное убранство. Часовня святого Стефана была переименована в Холл святого Стефана. Это широкий коридор с картинами, мраморными скульптурами и латунным указателем на том месте, где раньше стояло кресло спикера.
Склеп и Вестминстер-холл сохранились, однако смежная с ними палата общин была снова разрушена во время второй мировой войны. По традиции каждый гражданин Великобритании имеет право быть принятым членом парламента своего округа. Такие встречи проходят в центральном лобби. Во время заседаний парламента гражданам разрешается следить за дебатами с галереи для публики. Даже королева не может нарушить парламентских традиций. Во время государственного открытия сессий парламента она должна восседать на троне в палате лордов, в то время как премьер-министр и члены кабинета входят из палаты общин. Этот обычай восходит к эпохе Карла I, который ворвался в парламент, требуя ареста 5 его членов. Но эта попытка закончилась неудачей.

Продолжаем знакомить вас с достопримечательностями британской столицы. Резиденция Королевы Великобритании Елизаветы II — это одно из тех мест, которые обязательно нужно посетить. Это, как говорят англичане, «a must —see », особенно для тех, кто впервые посещает столицу страны.

Сам дворец находится в глубине парка, внешне он довольно скромный. По словам одного из зодчих, участвовавших в проектировании здании, «корона Англии не требует такого великолепия. Зарубежные страны могут заниматься украшениями, но Англия должна гордиться своей простотой».

Вообще, дворец - это маленькое автономное государство, в котором есть отделение полиции, почта, больница и многие другие учреждения, обеспечивающие жизнедеятельность дворца и королевской семьи.

Вот лишь несколько впечатляющих цифр:

во дворце 755 комнат, включая 52 королевские спальни, 188 спален для гостей и сотрудников, 92 офиса и 78 ванных комнат. Два сотрудника работаю полный день, чтобы следить за 300 часами резиденции.

Одной из важных архитектурных деталей здания является знаменитый балкон. Именно отсюда Ее Величество Королева Елизавета II и члены королевской семьи приветствуют своих подданных в дни торжеств.

Туристам, приезжающим в Лондон, повезло. Часть дворца открыта для посещений в августе и сентябре, когда Ее Величество покидает апартаменты. Что показывают туристам? Залы для приемов и церемоний (State Rooms ), картинную галерею Королевы (The Queen ’s Gallery ) и королевские конюшни (The Royal Mews ).

Картинная галерея — самое длинное помещение дворца (50 метров). Здесь представлены экспонаты многовековой истории Королевской семьи. Конечно, здесь выставлена только часть произведения из Королевского собрания, но экспозиция постоянно меняется. Возможно, вам повезет увидеть полотна Рубенса, Ван Дейка, Тициана.

Королевские Конюшни Букингемского дворца — это примерно то же, что кремлевский гараж в Москве. Только в отличии от гаража посетители и туристы могут посмотреть на интерьер и транспортные средства Королевской семьи и, конечно, увидеть великолепных скакунов.

Дворец охраняет Придворный Дивизион. Каждый день в 11.30 проходит знаменитая церемония смены караула (the Changing of the Guard ) – яркое и запоминающееся зрелище.

После экскурсии можно подкрепиться в снек-баре и купить сувениры в магазине подарков. А мы будем ждать ваших комментариев и рассказов. До встречи!
