The Royal Gallery is the second stage of the Royal Procession at the State Opening of Parliament. The Queen advances down this vast room (33.5 metres by 13.7) towards the Chamber of the House of Lords. The Royal Gallery houses a collection of portraits and statues of Kings and Queens since George I. It is also famous for the two huge murals by Maclise which line the walls - The Death of Nelson and The Meeting of Wellington and Bl¼cher.
