I visited the exhibition yesterday. It was my sixth visit to the State Room ( slightly obsessive ...lol )... I now no longer bother with the headphones for the guided tour and just mate my way straight to the ballroom where the exhibitions are always held ... I was in and out yesterday in 28 mins ! To the exhibitions . It was somewhat underwhelming I have to say. Not a large space . It was nice to see ths Coronation Screen , I missed that when I went to the Abbey just after the Coronation . The screen was very large ! Robes of course were lovely ,TQ's particularly so. The embroidered flowers were exquisite ! I even saw her two dogs embroidered on the hem of her dress. The necklace she wore was on display , gosh it looked so small . Much bigger in pics , no idea why ! TK's girdle , glove and the new stole were also on display . When you exit the palace on the ground floor you go through the Bow Room where The late Queen rested when she came back to the capital from Scotland prior to the Lying in State and State Funeral.
