The Palace of Westminster

The Palace of Westminster is also known as the Houses of Parliament. There has been a royal palace on this site for almost 1000 years. For a long time it was the home of kings and queens.
The Palace is built on an 8-acre site and there are over 1,000 moms and more than 2 miles of corridors.
Visitors to the Palace enter by the Norman Porch entrance. This is the entrance used by the Queen when she comes to open Parliament each year, usually in November.
If you go up the staircase and then look at the ceiling just outside I he Robing Room you will see the three colours of Parliament - the Sovereign (gold), the Lords (red) and the Commons (green). The luiilding is divided up in this way too, and on your tour you will first pass through the royal part of the Palace, then the part which belongs lo the House of Lords and, finally, the part which belongs to the House ulCommons.
The Robing Room. As you enter the Robing Room your eyes me drawn to the Chair of State. In this room the Queen receives the Imperial State Crown which is placed on her head just before she walks in procession through the Chamber of Lords. The Imperial State Crown is specially brought for her from the Tower of London where it is kept for the rest of the year. The Queen also puts on her State robes.
The Prince's Chamber. This room seems rather small but it is nn important room for it is here that Members of the House of Lords meet each other before entering their Chamber. You can see the pictures of Tudor kings, queens, princes and princesses on the wall and also the large marble statue of Queen Victoria. She was queen when the present Palace was built.
The Chamber of the House of Lords.
1 - The Throne
2 - The Bishop's bench
3 – The Woolsack
4 – The Opposition benches
The Chamber of the House of Lords is also called the Parliament Chamber, as it is the place where all three parts of Parliament come together at a State Opening - the Sovereign, the Members of the House of Lords and the Members of the House of Commons. When the Queen arrives in the Chamber of the House of Lords and is seated on the throne she then bids everyone to be seated. Then the Lord Great Chamberlain raises his wand. This is a signal for Black Rod, the Queen's Messenger, to summon the Members of the House of Commons to the House of Lords. As Black Rod approaches the House of Commons the doors are shut in his face. He has to knock three times on the door before he is allowed in. Possible this arose because, centuries ago, the Commons quite often wanted to discuss matters (for instance, a royal demand for money) in private without the king's messenger coming in unannounced. So the doors would be shut and the discussions would cease before he was let in. When Black Rod has delivered his message, the MPs, walk through into the Chamber of the House of Lords to hear the Queen's Speech which opens Parliament. In fact, there are 659 MPs. The Queen's Speech is handed to her by the Lord Chancellor. It is written for her by the Government of the day and not by the Queen herself. In the speech she tells Parliament - Lords and Commons - what the Government hopes to do during the next session (usually the next year). For the rest of the year, the House of Lords uses the Chamber for its debates and discussions of laws in the making.

The Chamber of the House of Commons.
1 – The Speaker’s Chair
2 – The Bishop’s Bench
3 – The Opposition Front Bench
4 – The Table of the House
5 – Red lines on the carpet
6 – The Dispatch Boxes
7 – The Mace
The Chamber of the House of Commons is really quite small. MPs hold their debates mid their discussions on changes in the law, in the House of Commons. The Chairman, who keeps the House in order, is called the Speaker. He or she can see from the chair all the MPs who signal that they wish to speak. In front sit three Clerks. These people can advise the Speaker and they also take notes on the proceedings. They are not Members of Parliament. You will see from the picture that there are red lines running along either side of the Chamber. The distance between them is a sword's length and one foot. This is because many years ago Members of Parliament were allowed to wear swords into the Chamber and 'sword lines' were marked on the floor to remind them that however cross they got with each other they should never get close enough to attack each other! You will see the Table of the House and the Dispatch Boxes (leading politician) stand at these boxes when they make speeches in the House of Commons) and the rest where the Mace is put while the House is debating. The Mace is the symbol of royal authority and is carried eve day in the Speaker's procession.
