We have to pick them up from the ticket office on arrival. We rather liked the swans :-) I guess they are now the King's Swans!

I did manage to go back and see it again. Walking along the Thames in Windsor was really enjoyable. But, yes there's always a but, there were way too many swans there. So watch your step by the river bank. ;) Oh, the Windsor Castle ticket that I bought previously was valid for a whole year.

I like that they have been collected and will be composted to the benefits of the gardens on the Royal Estates. I have had a strange journey this year in regards to our late Queen Elizabeth. We were in Windsor on the official weekend of her Jubilee celebrations, then later in August we visited Sandringham. We planned to revisit Windsor and the castle and tie up a few other things we missed on our first visit to Windsor. Little did we know that Queen Elizabeth would pass away leading to all our visits feeling a little strange. We are still going to return to the castle, albeit a little later than we had originally planned. I am not one for placing flowers in that way but they are beautiful to see.

Only because the last building that I finished on that day, Heritage Open Day, was not far away from the palace. Anyway, I saw sea of flowers in front of the palace and I thought money could be spent more meaningfully if people donated the money to charities instead of buying flowers. Or plant something in one's backyard to remember the Queen, which can last longer that cut flowers. I went to Buckingham Palace on the second night, while she was still in Scotland.
