🏰Westminster Abbey is really amazing! 📍It is located in the center of London, close to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. This church is an outstanding representative of British Gothic architecture, with towering spires, exquisite carvings and gorgeous stained glass windows. Every detail shows unparalleled artistic charm. Walking into the church, it seems to travel through time and space. This is the holy place for the coronation of the British royal family and has witnessed countless important moments in history. At the same time, it is also the resting place of many celebrities. Great figures such as Newton, Darwin, and Dickens are buried here, which makes people respect their contributions.

The Henry VII Chapel in the church is even more exquisite, with a fan-shaped dome roof and dense carvings, like a fairyland.

I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me. 💕Highly recommended to everyone! 💕

After watching the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, we came to Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people queuing up, and it took about an hour and a half to enter the church. There was an interpreter at the entrance, and you could choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter will explain. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church are of high quality and good temperament, which makes people respect them.

Westminster Abbey is also called Westminster Abbey. It is not only the Church of the Church of England, but also the place where kings were crowned and members of the royal family were married. This is where Prince William's wedding took place. At the same time, it is also a British tomb, in addition to members of the Royal family, many celebrities including Newton, Churchill and so on are buried here. It is unexpected that the British Royal Empire should concentrate the red and white wedding events in one place, but also a little too careless. After standing in line for about 20 minutes, we exchanged the one-day tour ticket for the official ticket. After strict security check, we entered the church and got a guide with Chinese explanations. Photographs are not allowed in the church, so you can listen carefully. With the flow of visitors slowly moving along the established route, we first saw the tall dome and colorful windows in the vestibule, but what shocked us most was the sculptures everywhere from the entrance. These sculptures are actually tombstones. It is rare to have so many tombstones and tombstones in churches. Most of these tombstones belong to royalty or famous figures, which is unparalleled in the world. Walking through the Tomb of the Unknown Martyr at the West Gate to the Altar Gate, there is the famous Newton's Tomb, which is a marble sarcophagus. The statue shows Newton's reliance on the sarcophagus, with his great works "On Divinity" and "On Movement" under his arms. The sculpture on the tombstone makes people feel that he is really an angel who brings human physical knowledge. On the ground near him were the tombstones of scientists such as Ferrari and Joule, and not far away were the tombstones of Darwin. The simple and simple tombstones of these scientists are in sharp contrast to the full sculpture of Newton's tombstones. They are also great scientists. They are also in the great Westminster Temple, but they still see different tombstones. It turns out that human beings are also unequal in the face of science. Then he came to the main altar. The Chinese guide introduces in detail the functions of the main altar, as well as the setting of the king's ascension ceremony or the wedding and funeral ceremony held here. The contents are detailed and knowledgeable. Faced with so many tombstones of kings, the admiration for this church is even stronger when we hear such a great event happening here. No wonder there are so many tourists gathering here. It's absolutely necessary to visit London. Visited the main altar, and then entered the chapel in the church. Most of these chapels are in the tombstone area of successive kings. Every punctuality in the church has about a minute of prayer ceremony. With the voice of the Lord's prayers, tourists mostly stand in silence. At this moment, the church is really silent. At this moment, I feel the dignity and influence of religious belief once again. In the exchange of names such as Henry and James, in the introduction of the struggle between Mary and Elizabeth, in the reincarnation of 1234567, and in the complaint of the memory confusion caused by such an unoriginal name of the British Royal Family, the visit to this large area of the National Cemetery in Westminster Abbey was ended. In fact, we have traveled through a long period of British history in a short period of time.

After renting the interpreter, I took a Chinese version of the guide map. Photography and videos are prohibited in churches. Enjoy the stained glass of the church. It has a harmonious tone, based on dark blue and bright red, red and blue intersect, in the interior of the church pale limestone to produce a beautiful purple glow, so that everything around the soft and warm. After the church was completed, it undertook the Royal coronation, Royal wedding, state funeral and other important ceremonies. In 1920, the unknown hero was buried in the main hall of the church. Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953. In 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, was buried. In 2002, the Queen Mother's funeral. In 2010, His Highness Benedict XVI visited Britain for evening prayers. His Highness Prince William married in 2011. Every hour, the minister on duty presides over a prayer. Please keep quiet. Every prayer is different. Several of our relatives lit candles in the main hall and wrote prayers in front of the shrine altar. The staff of the cathedral wear special red, green and blue robes. The head of the delegation asked a staff member dressed in a red robe about a world-famous tombstone in the tombstone forest in the basement of Westminster Abbey circulated online. The staff carefully inquired and answered - "There is no basement in the cathedral, so there is no anonymous tombstone, no famous tombstone in the world, and there is no such remark, all of which are fallacies. The church also keeps the "chair" which symbolizes power, in kind, on the left side of the exit.

The magnificent cathedral, the place where British kings of all dynasties were crowned, has witnessed countless rises and falls, honors and disgraces, and is the tomb of many kings and celebrities. No matter how great the past is, it is also here. Only the river of life is eternal...
