Buckingham Palace gets funds for urgent overhaul

Buckingham Palace, one of Britain's most iconic landmarks and home to Queen Elizabeth, will undergo a decade-long overhaul after the government approved what it said were urgently needed funds on Friday. The works will focus on replacing electrical wiring, water pipes and the heating system which were installed after the Second World War. "These urgent works have been properly costed and will ensure the palace can continue its centuries-long tradition of being the working house of our monarch,"
