Westminster Hall has been left with damage to its 180 year old floors after 250,000 mourners came to see the Queen lying-in-state, it has emerged
Westminster Hall has been left with damage to its floors after 250,000 mourners came to see the Queen lying-in-state, it has been reported.
This was done to lessen the impact to the oldest remaining part of the original Palace of Westminster. "It has exposed some areas of bare stone that will blend in with the surrounding areas over time. This does not present a structural risk.” Some members of the House authorities are said to be concerned about the management of the stone floor, which managed to survive a devastating blaze in 1834.
