to get the tax back on the money we paid and for this we were given the chance to apply for an annual pass at no extra cost.
The tour is available from 9.30am until 4pm during July and August with slightly later opening and earlier closing times during the rest of the year.
The tour started with us walking through a room where there were pictures of the yacht, the Royal Family and lots of information about both.
We were then given handsets and instructions on how to use them to get commentary as we walked round the yacht. These were available in 20 different major world languages plus English, English for children, Basic English and English for the Visually Impaired!

Although its many years since I last counted, there used to be thirty odd pubs and bars within five minutes' walk.

Overall, whether you are spending time with children on the funfair and beach, shopping ...
