I spent over 3 hours there going through every nook and cranny of that magnificent church. The history alone spans 1,000 years. The Coronation Chair goes back to the 13th century. The tombs and memorials to famous figures of British History never cease to amaze. The tomb of Kings and Queens are not to be missed.

Yet, it remains a place of worship, of celebration, of saying farewell. I plan to visit that amazing place once again on another trip to the UK.
