around the villages — 1 The Parish Magazine - April 2021 25 Before lockdown became such a well used word, The Parish Magazine regularly published stories about interesting places to visit locally, but we have not published any in the series for more than year so we thought it was time to continue with a stay-at-home adventure that is still virtually open ... Windsor Castle — a great day out at home On 21 April, the Queen celebrates her 95th birthday — her official birthday, traditionally held when the weather is more congenial for parades, is on 12 June. Her real birthday will be marked with a midday gun salute with 41 guns fired in Hyde Park, 62 at the Tower of London, and 21 in Windsor Great Park. Being only 16 miles away from St Andrew's Church, Windsor Castle is the closest of these venues, however, the pandemic rules are likely to mean that the nearest we can get to it will be online! You could also make a day of it at home by visiting the Royal Collection Trust online where there are royal activities for all the family — quizzes, virtual tours through the castle's state rooms and museums, a royal recipe to try, a huge collection of photographs taken by the royal family, and a gift shop! On St George's Day the order of the Garter awards are announced at Windsor Castle.

Royal Collection Trust is one of five Royal Household departments that are responsible for the care of the Royal Collection. It also manages the public opening of the Queen's official residences of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. The Queen's church, St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, has historical connections with our parish, and this magazine! Our first editor, Rev Hugh Pearson, served as a highly-respected Canon at St George's (1876–82) during his incumbency in this parish. Next to the chapel steps used for ceremonial occasions such as royal weddings, you will find a cross erected in Canon Pearson's memory. The present chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England and dates from 1475 when Edward IV was king. It is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the senior order of British Chivalry established in 1348 by Edward III and houses the tombs of 10 monarchs, including Henry VIII, his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I. The links below will take you to some of the highlights of Windsor Castle, a tudor quiz, a virtual tour of the Waterloo Chamber, and a royal recipe to try! https://www.rct.uk/visit/windsor-castle/ highlights-of-windsor-castle#/#stgeorgechapel https://email.rct.uk/p/4SVR-4YU/ tudorquiz?dm_i=4SVR,GK9F,U81AY,1Z07S,1 https://www.rct.uk/visit/windsor-castle/ highlights-of-windsor-castle?dm_i=4SVR,GK9F, U81AY,1YI0B,1#/#stateapartments https://www.rct.uk/resources/ activity-challenge-royal-recipegrilled-vegetable-focaccia?utm_ campaign=772755_2021_02_general_2&utm_ medium=email&utm_source=email_ marketing&dm_i=4SVR,GK9F,U81AY,1YI0B,1 And there is a lot more to explore online!
