New on 500px : Cambio de Guardia by AlbertoTorresAlves by AlbertoTorresAlves

El cambio de guardia en Buckingham Palace es uno de los espectáculos a seguir si se visita Londres. Los nuevos guardias salen del cuartel de Wellington y van en marcha, junto con la banda de música, hacia el patio de Buckingham Palace, donde se realiza la ceremonia. Es aconsejable ir con antelación para coger sitio, entre los miles de turistas que se agolpan, entre el Palacio y el monumento Victoria Memorial.

New on 500px : Victoria Memorial – Artifact I by nabajyoti_dutta by nabajyoti_dutta

In January 1901, on the death of Queen Victoria, George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston and Viceroy of India, suggested the creation of a fitting memorial. He proposed the construction of a grand building with a museum and gardens. Curzon said,

“Let us, therefore, have a building, stately, spacious, monumental and grand, to which every newcomer in Calcutta will turn, to which all the resident population, European and Native, will flock, where all classes will learn the lessons of history, and see revived before their eyes the marvels of the past.”
The Prince of Wales, later King George V, laid the foundation stone on 4 January 1906 and it was formally opened to the public in 1921. In 1912, before the construction of the Victoria Memorial was finished, King George V announced the transfer of the capital of India from Calcutta to New Delhi. Thus, the Victoria Memorial was built in what would be a provincial city rather than a capital.
