Heritage: 1: The Royal Mews

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Pageantry and ceremonial provide a living link with our nation's past. Robert Hardy visits and explains the background to some of Britain's most colourful ceremonies.

In 1824 John Nash redesigned the stables and coach houses of Buckingham Palace to become the Royal Mews. Today in the busy yet village atmosphere of the Mews are stabled the famous 'Windsor Greys' and Cleveland Bay horses, alongside pageantry's romantic centrepieces, the magnificent royal coaches-the Scottish State Coach, the Speaker's Coach, the Glass Coach and the magnificent Gold State Coach.
