I'm going to have to fire up my smartphone and take a look!

Buckingham Palace Virtual Reality Tour Launched

Google's project allows people to look around the palace's state rooms and the ballroom where knighthoods and OBEs are presented.

A newly-created virtual reality experience allows people to look around some of the palace's state rooms, taking the viewer into the heart of the royal residence and bringing the ornate furniture, fixtures and fittings to life.

Visitors can stand at the bottom of the grand staircase and, although they are unable to move, they can still take in an almost 360-degree view of the architectural wonder.

They can also look down the picture gallery at the Old Masters hanging on the wall, and then look behind them at the paintings.

Other highlights of the VR experience include tours of the lavishly decorated Green and White drawings rooms and the ballroom where knighthoods and OBEs are presented by the Queen.
