Westminster Abbey dates back to the 11th Century. Every English Monarch since William the Conqueror have had their Coronations here, including
Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

The Abbey's famous Coronation Chair — located near the Tomb of Henry V — can be viewed, along with many other Tombs and Memorials of the Kings and Queens of England, and famous poets and writers.

Westminster Abbey has also been the site of Royal Weddings and Funerals. Prince Andrew and Fergie were married here in 1986. Eleven years later, in 1997, Princess Diana's funeral took place here. It was watched on television by millions of people around the world — as was Britain's Queen Mum's funeral in the Spring of 2002.
