 The Scenery in and around Windsor Castle is spectacular. The building itself is well maintained giving the castle its natural feel. The greenery around Windsor Castle is also something that catches ones eye. Especially the moat garden, which is the the most beautiful of all. It is fulled with well trimmed grass and decorated with flowers that reach up to the surrendering towers. It makes one stop to admire its beauty when passing by.

 The College of St. George was founded in 1348 by Edward III as a symbol of devotion to the church. The chapel was originally the Chapel of St. Edward the Confessor however in the 13th century it was rededicated to St. George who is England's patron saint. It was built in the [[Gothic style]] of architecture which has lines that draw your eyes upwards towards the heavens.

 ==The Changing of the Guard==
 Weather permitting, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at about 11:00 am the changing of the guard takes place. The guard first parades through the town outside of the castle and then enters the castle. The ceremony takes place by St. George's Chapel, and it is accompanied by a Regimental Band and a a Corps of Drums. It is considered a privilege to guard the Sovereign and it belongs to the Household Troops, commonly known as 'the Guards'. The entire ceremony takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and at the conclusion, the retired guard returns to the Victoria Barracks.<ref>Changing the Guard at Windsor Castle. (2017).

 ==State Apartments==
-<br>
+monarchs have called Windsor Castle home and the appearance of the State Apartments today reflects the changing tastes of the Castle’s royal occupants, particularly Charles II and George IV. Charles II set out to rival the achievements of his cousin, Louis XIV, at Versailles in France.  He modernized the Castle’s interiors, which became the grandest State Apartments in England, with painted ceilings by Antonio Verrio and carvings by Grinling Gibbons. George IV gave the State Apartments a new grand entrance and staircase, and he added the colossal Waterloo Chamber, celebrating the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815, introduced in the short film below by Desmond Shawe-Taylor, Surveyor of The Queen's Pictures. <br>
