Westminster Abbey to me was my favorite part of the trip. This abbey was beautiful in every way, the structure, windows, high ceilings, the meaning to the building and everything that it represents. Being able to be in such a beautiful place where Kings and Queen were coronated and also buried shows us every aspect of their culture. I was able to see every inch of that abbey and how the steps were sunken down by how many people have walked those same footsteps, and how long that place has been there. This abbey goes back years and years with so much history under every stone and burial. So many important figures in England’s culture are buried there and to be able to see all this is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing where the first unknown warrior came from and seeing the burial place for him is amazing. Also how no one is allowed to walk on it when every other burial you can, this really shows the respect that this abbey holds.
