Sadly the Windsor Garrison no longer uses this church, but it remains a shrine to the British Army with standards everywhere and the balcony fascia completely covered with memorials to various military campaigns. I was fortunate to visit on the day before Remembrance Sunday, so it was full of volunteers cleaning the interior and setting up for the following day’s service. I was able to have a fascinating talk with the vicar about the history of the church, which was initially funded by a donation by Queen Victoria. Prince Albert had a significant influence over its design and there’s a life sized statue of him in the entrance lobby. The magnificent interior is very definitely Victorian, but distinctly lighter and brighter than in many other churches of that era.

Irish guardsmen statue in Windsor high street is a six foot bronze on a plinth made from bronze salvaged from the Iraq war. Unveiled in 2009. Awesome statue and well worth thinking of their help.

In this lifesize bronze statue cast by the Queen’s own sculptor-in-ordinary Sir Edgar Boehm for her Silver Jubilee in 1887 Victoria appears the mistress of all she surveys. A decade later her statue was given a canopy for her Diamond Jubilee. Contemporary photographs show her funeral cortège passing by only three years later. What is striking is how little has changed around the statue over a century later apart from the demolition of a wall separating the footpath from the lawn at the foot of the castle in the early 1960s.
