Never toured the inside of the Houses of Parliament before, seeing all the red and green colour coded areas (lords and commons – look at the benches next time you see debates in either place) and busts and statues of some of the shapers, for better or worse, of much of the fabric of UK democracy. (Thanks to my sister for this wonderful opportunity on Friday!) BTW, most of the interesting stuff I saw was off limits to photos, sorry!
