![London 12 - Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace
The Queen's Gallery is a public art gallery located at Buckingham Palace, home of the British monarch, in London. It exhibits works of art from the Royal Collection (i.e. those works owned by the Queen "in trust for the nation" rather than privately) on a rotating basis; about 450 works are on display at any one time.
The gallery is located at the west front of the Palace, on the site of a chapel bombed during the Second World War. The gallery opened in 1962. In 2002 it was renovated by the architect John Simpson, who added the Doric entrance portico, and re-opened by the Queen. It is open to the public on a daily basis.
The gallery was barely a year old when we visited it back in 2003](http://www.harisphotography.com/Abroad/UK-Travels/i-9tgL3sq/0/Ti/3725822471_195fb0c9d6_o-Ti.jpg "London 12 - Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace

![London 11 - Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality, and a major tourist attraction. It has been a rallying point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by George III in 1761[2] as a private residence, known as "The Queen's House". It was enlarged over the next 100 years, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the present-day public face of Buckingham Palace. However, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.

Wellington Fruit Farm 3 - More berries
During the visit, my auntie was fascinated by the berries. She works for MARDI, an agricultural research agency. She is convinced that we can grow these berries in Malaysia.
