Witness History - Windsor Castle fire
In November 1992, a fire devastated Windsor Castle - a symbol of the British monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II’s weekend home. Coming at the end of a year of family problems, the blaze upset the Queen deeply and led her to declare 1992 her ‘annus horribilis’.
In 2012, Simon Watts spoke to Sir Hugh Roberts, one of Her Majesty’s art experts.
