B. Well, the National Gallery, to begin with; then comes the National Portrait
Gallery, then the Tate Gallery.

Fine Arts. In the first place it’s a museum of history, archaeology and eth-
nography. It’s also one of the largest libraries in the world.

A. What’s “Trooping the Colour”?

full dress uniform. This event is perhaps the finest spectacle in London.
A. When and where is it held?
