Britain to allow visitors into Buckingham Palace from July to September

#BuckinghamPalace #GrandEntrance Britain has plans to allow the common man into the Buckingham Palace and walk around Britain's most coveted dining room that can seat 170 guests. It has 2,000 pieces of cutlery, spectacular silver-gilt candelabra and tableware and the Grand Service on which food is presented.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 17 March 2015.
Visitors would have to shell out an entrance fee of about £50 so as to enter the palace through the Grand Entrance which is used by the Queen for ceremonial processions.
Entry into this place is usually reserved for a head of state, royalty or a celebrity of global renown. Its doors are now being thrown open for the first time ever for commoners. They can walk up the Grand Entrance of Britain's Buckingham Palace which was meant till now for only the most sought after dignitaries. Visitors can now set eyes on a dazzling dining ballroom that is mainly used by the Queen to host state banquets.
This will be a part of the unique "Royal Welcome exhibition" and is expected to be unveiled this July and will go on till September. During this period, tourists will be able to enter this place and see up close just how the country's monarch entertains her most important guests.
Of course, the show stopper would be the dresses and jewelry that are worn by the Queen at State Banquets over the years apart from the gifts that have been presented to her by over 110 visiting heads of state who have been welcomed by the Queen to Buckingham Palace till date.
Incidentally, during 2014, the royal family welcomed around 62,000 guests to the Palace as part of state visits, garden parties, investitures and private audiences.
