Hampton Court

Home of King Henry VIII, famous for among other things making the Queen of England a rather hazardous occupation and inspiring a hit song in the mid 1960's by Hermans Hermits.  I resisted singing the song during the visit since Henry had this fondness for lopping off the heads of those who displeased him and you know his ghost was still wandering the halls.
