- Fly through the Abbey in our drone video which travels from the west door and up into the triforium, an elevated gallery or attic, which is being transformed into a new museum and gallery: The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries, due to open in June 2018.
We’ve released this new film to support our fundraising campaign for the Galleries. If you would like to help us with our next chapter, please donate : www.westminster...
Seeing places like this remind you that there is something greater and far more important.
If I never get to see it again, my visit last year is an experience I will never, ever forget. Such a special, moving, haunting, magical, historical, incredible, magnificent, humbling, significant place!
And peace full
Can't wait to visit the Abbey
Moving. Glorious. Wonderful.
An amazing approach in seeing the space from truly a bird's eye view.
Thanks for sharing. 💕
Wonderful video . I've always wanted to get let loose into all the nooks and crannies of the Abbey . The basement, triforium it will be wonderful thank you
Marvelous
Wonderful footage of the Abbey's interior, revealing the space of this special place.
Glorious. Utterly glorious. What a fascinating view of the side aisles and the memorials they contain, especially.
full of idols
awesome. Thank you for this. 🧡
Time to plan another visit
Can't wait to visit the abbey and pay tribute to the unknown warrior this centenary year of the end of the Great War.
Two of our Croft family are buried in Westminster...William was choir master ,composer and royal tutor
To any visitor wishing to get a real experience of the glories of this remarkable building I would suggest attending one of the Summer evening organ concerts admission is only available to ticket holders. At other times particularly in Summer the Abbey tends to get overwhelmed with tourists, not to be recommended.
That bad eh?
I'll say ONE thing. Having a burial vault under the abbey would be one thing. But I'm not all that sure I would be all that comfortable going to services whilst being surrounded by all those dead bodies stuck in crypts all around.
Это потрясающе! Я обожаю британскую архитектуру и литературу. Это лучшее, что могут делать в Великобритании. Ну, ещё футбол))
full of IDOLS.
Beautiful! A person could get some serious praying done there.
A serious house on serious earth it is,
In whose blent air all our compulsions meet,
Are recognised, and robed as destinies.
And that much never can be obsolete,
Since someone will forever be surprising
A hunger in himself to be more serious,
And gravitating with it to this ground,
Which, he once heard, was proper to grow wise in,
If only that so many dead lie round.
Do you still have the raw footage?
Amazing , but what is the name of hymn
'Exaudiat te Dominus' composed by Robert White
Thank you
Does it show the resting place of Anne of Cleves Henry VIII’s fourth wife
Yes, she is in there. Saw her today.
Wonderful video, but didn't see any fire or smoke detectors - anywhere. Remember Notre Dame Cathedral one year ago? 🤷♂️
There are smoke detectors but maybe over the vaulting and different small parts of the abbey.
If your admission fee were sensible, which it surely is not, I might contribute.
But as rudely as I was treated on my last visit, I probably still would not do so.
the abbey is beatiful but this was a catholic abbey and anglicans destroy the catholic past but they keep some beautiful things,.
This beautiful abbey church was built by the Benedictine monks in the 13th century, and who were closely allied to the monarchs of England through their abbot. The monks themselves lived simple lives but their abbot wielded political power because of his closeness to the reigning king.
It ceased to be an abbey when Henry VIII confiscated it from the Benedictine monks who were Roman Catholics.
It is not really correct, all those abbeys when they were dissolved, they have already recognized Henry VIII as the head of English Church, so technically they were not Roman any more.
@Tito et al The Abbey was not built by the monks. It was established by King Edgar in 960, re-established in 1065 by KIng Edward the Confessor, and substantially rebuilt by King Edward III in the 13th Century as a fitting coronation church for future Kings of England. It has always been, and still remains, a Royal Abbey church. Learn the history and pay attention!
@@bwilliamleo7872 Technically speaking, they were still catholic after 1534, just not roman catholic. The more strident adjustments came in the next reign. The Oxford Movement in the 19th Century has seen a gradual return to the English catholic tradition. Today the Church of England describes itself as reformed catholic.
@@ds1868 Don‘t forget Archbishop Laud and other Caroline Divines, the Catholic and High church traditions were never totally lost, though someone might say they were not as “smoky” as those 19th Ritualists.
all those restless souls no thanks
The Abbey is a peaceful place. You have nothing to fear.
erm... good but I won't be donating. The richest person on benefits, you may ask them perhaps?.The monarchy has plenty of loot from other countries.
