Westminster Abbey is also called Westminster Abbey. It is not only the Church of the Church of England, but also the place where kings were crowned and members of the royal family were married. This is where Prince William's wedding took place. At the same time, it is also a British tomb, in addition to members of the Royal family, many celebrities including Newton, Churchill and so on are buried here. It is unexpected that the British Royal Empire should concentrate the red and white wedding events in one place, but also a little too careless. After standing in line for about 20 minutes, we exchanged the one-day tour ticket for the official ticket. After strict security check, we entered the church and got a guide with Chinese explanations. Photographs are not allowed in the church, so you can listen carefully. With the flow of visitors slowly moving along the established route, we first saw the tall dome and colorful windows in the vestibule, but what shocked us most was the sculptures everywhere from the entrance. These sculptures are actually tombstones. It is rare to have so many tombstones and tombstones in churches. Most of these tombstones belong to royalty or famous figures, which is unparalleled in the world. Walking through the Tomb of the Unknown Martyr at the West Gate to the Altar Gate, there is the famous Newton's Tomb, which is a marble sarcophagus. The statue shows Newton's reliance on the sarcophagus, with his great works "On Divinity" and "On Movement" under his arms. The sculpture on the tombstone makes people feel that he is really an angel who brings human physical knowledge. On the ground near him were the tombstones of scientists such as Ferrari and Joule, and not far away were the tombstones of Darwin. The simple and simple tombstones of these scientists are in sharp contrast to the full sculpture of Newton's tombstones. They are also great scientists. They are also in the great Westminster Temple, but they still see different tombstones. It turns out that human beings are also unequal in the face of science. Then he came to the main altar. The Chinese guide introduces in detail the functions of the main altar, as well as the setting of the king's ascension ceremony or the wedding and funeral ceremony held here. The contents are detailed and knowledgeable. Faced with so many tombstones of kings, the admiration for this church is even stronger when we hear such a great event happening here. No wonder there are so many tourists gathering here. It's absolutely necessary to visit London. Visited the main altar, and then entered the chapel in the church. Most of these chapels are in the tombstone area of successive kings. Every punctuality in the church has about a minute of prayer ceremony. With the voice of the Lord's prayers, tourists mostly stand in silence. At this moment, the church is really silent. At this moment, I feel the dignity and influence of religious belief once again. In the exchange of names such as Henry and James, in the introduction of the struggle between Mary and Elizabeth, in the reincarnation of 1234567, and in the complaint of the memory confusion caused by such an unoriginal name of the British Royal Family, the visit to this large area of the National Cemetery in Westminster Abbey was ended. In fact, we have traveled through a long period of British history in a short period of time.

    Beautiful architecture and history. They provide an audio tour included in the ticket price but they also have the same tour in an app if you want to use your phone. (Free) We did not buy tickets online but the line went very quickly less than 5 minutes so don’t worry if you don’t get them in advance.

    Westminster Abbey is a living working church that has been the coronation church since 1066. I went there with my family and we live in near Westminster church.

    London must go, it is really historic. There is a free interpreter at the door, and it is very convenient to follow the tour. Although the place is not too big, there are classic historical stories reappearing everywhere. And the building is really beautiful!
