Buckingham Palace’s 19 state rooms are open to visitors during August and September while the Queen makes her annual visit to Balmoral.

The State rooms house some of the Royal family’s greatest treasures including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin and Canaletto. They are also exquisitely furnished with some of the finest French and English furniture.

Visit the spectacular Palace Ballroom and see the traditional horseshoe-shaped table lavishly decorated for a State Banquet. On display you can see the silver gilt from the Grand service, first used to celebrate the birthday of George III in 1811 as well as jewelled cups, ivory tankards, chased dishes, sconces, shields and basins.

The end of the tour takes you along the south side of the Palace’s gardens with views of the west front of the Palace and the lake.

The Changing of the Guard takes place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 every day in summer, every other day in winter, and lasts about 45 minutes.

The New Guard marches to the Palace from Wellington Barracks with a Guards band, the Old Guard hands over in a ceremony during which the sentries are changed and then returns to barracks. The New Guard then marches to St James's Palace leaving the detachment at Buckingham Palace.

About the Products

Charles Broadhurst was born in Birmingham on 22nd August 1903 but moved with his family to Oxford when he was very young. He did not realise his talent until a footballing injury gave him time to experiment with pencil and paper.

Now 90 years on, and just short of 100 images later, his sons are making his artistry available to the world at large. Not all images will be made available but the expectation is that the list available for purchase will eventually number close to 60.

In both A3 (297 x 420 mm, 11.69 x 16.54 inches, £15) and A4 (210 x 297 mm 8.27 x 11.69 inches, £10) sizes the prints available for sale are taken directly from the original pen and ink drawings, using the latest reprographic techniques.

Delivery is an additional £3.50 to anywhere in the world.
