Introduction

Westminster Abbey, located next to the Houses of Parliament in the UK, is a historic and grand church. As the Anglican church, it has not only hosted the coronations of kings and the weddings of royal members throughout history, but also serves as the final resting place for many famous people, including Newton, Darwin, and Churchill, regarded as the highest honor. This Gothic-style representative building is not only solemn and magnificent, but also filled with beautiful multicolored glass that shines through the sunlight. Westminster Abbey has been under construction since the 10th century and has become the church for royal coronations since the crowning of William the Conqueror. For hundreds of years, millions of worshippers have come to participate in worship, and countless others have come to pay their respects and remember the past. Westminster Abbey is not only the highest-ranking church in the UK, but also a holy site for people to pay tribute to those who have contributed to the country.
