A Visit to Hampton Court (UK)

Entrance to Hampton Court

Suzy and I spent the day sightseeing at Hampton Court which is not too distant from her home in Richmond.  Suzy took this photo of me in front of the palace, but did not want me to take any photos of her.  We spent a good part of the afternoon at Hampton Court, before going to a local pub for lunch.  The photos which follow were taken during our tour of the palace and the grounds.

There were many school groups visiting the palace while we were there.  Here are a few at the banquet table in the Great Hall of the palace.

One of the many tapestries in the Great Hall, many of which ten years to complete.
