There s something extra festive about Windsor this year and it’s not the giant Christmas tree, fresh out of Windsor Great Park, that stands beside the castle and a statue of Queen Victoria.
It’s the happy news that the Queen the 39th monarch to call the castle home since William the Conqueror founded it in the 11th century will be here for the big day.
A good starting point when visiting this Thames-side town is to stroll down The Long Walk, a straight line of horse chestnut trees that runs 2.6 miles from the George IV castle gates to the Copper Horse statue of George III.
