Also in Museums.

The working stables of the palace, where the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays live and the carriages of every state occasion wait between them: the Gold State Coach of 1762, four tons of gilded oak that carried Elizabeth II in 1953 and Charles III back from the Abbey in 2023; the Diamond Jubilee State Coach with its wood from Nelson's Victory and Newton's apple tree; the Glass Coach in which Diana Spencer arrived at St Paul's; and the Rolls-Royces. The grooms and coachmen are about, and a wedding or a state visit empties the place.
