School Council Goes to Parliament

Members of the School Council at Queen's College Junior School were delighted when Jeremy Browne the MP for Taunton Deane offered to give them a tour of the Houses of Parliament. They were fascinated to go inside the Palace of Westminster and see the Lords' Chamber, the Commons' Chamber and the Robing room, where the Queen prepares herself for the State Opening of Parliament. After having lunch in Westminster Hall, where famous figures such as Sir Winston Churchill and more recently HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother had been laid in State, they went up in to the public gallery of the House of Commons and listened to MP's carrying out the business of the day.
