Panorama: steps of Parliament

Panorama from the front entrance of Parliament House.

Shows the bronze outer doors and a mosaic depicting the Royal Coat of Arms (which is also sculpted in marble above the doors). 'DIEU ET MON DROIT' is the sovereign's motto - 'God and my right'. 'HONI SOI QUI MAL Y PENSE' is the motto of the Order of the Garter, translated as 'Shame on him who thinks evil'.

These panoramas require QuickTime 5 or later to view.
A grid will appear while this movie downloads (about 1-2 mins on a 56k dial-up connection). Once this disappears the movie has downloaded and, with the mouse pointer inside the image, click and drag to explore.
