OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF LONDON 2012
Tradition and pageantry have remained strong in a country with such a long and rich history. Royal events and ceremonies still hold a powerful fascination for the nation and for around 15 million tourists from around the world who come and visit London each year. Trooping the Colour and Garter Day, and Changing of the Guard in particular is watched by millions, making Buckingham Palace and The Mall, both depicted on the coin, major stops on many sightseeing tours.
The quote on the coin by Tennyson expresses the important role of ceremony that lies behind Britain's pageantry, while also remembering that the spirit of the nation is what gives Britain its character, just as spirit of the Olympians underlies their achievement.
