The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries – Westminster Abbey by James Wilkinson Pdf

In the biggest change to Westminster Abbey for 250 years, a new museum has been built, accessed by a spectacular new seven storey tower. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries have been built in the roof space over the side chapels, some sixteen metres above floor level. The Galleries display 300 of the Abbey's treasures, ranging from the historic effigies of past kings and queens to the Duke of Cambridge's marriage licence. In addition, for the first time in 800 years, the public can now see spectacular views of the Abbey from the galleries. This booklet tells the story of the building of the tower and galleries. More than 70 photographs reveal some of the amazing discoveries made during the development, which culminated in the grand opening by Her Majesty the Queen in 2018.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries by Curator Susan Jenkins,Librarian Tony Trowles Pdf

In summer 2018, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries will open in the church's medieval triforium, an internal gallery which runs 70 feet above the floor of the Abbey. Entrance to the space, never before opened to the public, will be through a new tower outside Poets' Corner, opposite the Palace of Westminster. This will be the most significant addition to the Abbey since Nicholas Hawksmoor's iconic towers were completed in 1745. The treasures displayed will reflect the Abbey's rich thousand-year history. The Galleries will also grant magnificent views to Parliament Square and the Palace of Westminster, as well as wonderful vistas across the Abbey, which Betjeman described as "the finest view in Europe". The Galleries mark the final phase of the Abbey's "2020 Vision", which aimed to improve facilities for the Abbey's two million worshippers and visitors. Permanent exhibition: opening 11.06.2018

From jewelry of the highest quality and finest craftsmanship to gemstone-laden tiaras and diamond-encrusted swords, this accessible volume presents a visually stunning selection of diamonds from among the Royal Collection's awe-inspiring array. Published to celebrate the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II--as well as a special exhibition planned for Buckingham Palace in 2012--Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration explores the undeniable appeal of diamonds and the many royal uses to which they have been applied throughout the centuries. These precious stones have long played a part in royal ceremonies and gift-giving, and the book features numerous photographs--many newly commissioned--including close-up views of each piece. Few private diamond collections surpass that of the Royal Collection, and this lavishly illustrated volume offers readers a glimpse of many one-of-a-kind examples.

The Funeral Effigies of Westminster Abbey by Anthony Harvey,Richard Mortimer Pdf

Westminster Abbey contains a unique and important group of effigies, some familiar, many little-known, including kings, queens, statesmen and national heroes, ranging in time from the middle ages to the early nineteenth century. They derive from a time when an effigy of the dead monarch, statesman or national hero played an important part in funeral ritual, offering a visible likeness as a focus to the ceremonial of the funeral. This richly illustrated book, which is the first substantial publication on the effigies since 1936, is both a history of the collection and of the origins and development of the funeral effigy, and a full descriptive catalogue of the twenty-one examples in the Abbey.

Debrett's: The Queen - The Diamond Jubilee by Debrett's Pdf

With a foreword by the Rt Hon Sir John Major, The Queen: The Diamond Jubilee is a beautifully illustrated commemoration of the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II, from her early years to her role as a modern monarch in the 21st century. This book explores the Queen's genealogy, tracing her descent from William the Conqueror, her coat of arms and orders of chivalry. It looks at her personal life, her childhood, teenage years, hobbies and pursuits, as well as her closest family ties: her mother, sister, husband, children, in-laws and grandchildren. Her public life is also reviewed and celebrated, from formal occasions to garden parties, walkabouts, ship-launchings and ribbon-cuttings, to her work with charities and presenting awards and honours. The state occasions that have punctuated the Queen's life - her own wedding; her coronation; other royal weddings; state funerals; state openings of parliament; investitures and trooping the colour - are explored with insightful and gorgeous photographs. The Queen: The Diamond Jubilee is a touching, unique and beautiful book and a perfect way to remember and celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
