A royal home and fortress for over 900 years, the Castle remains a working palace today. The Queen uses the Castle both as a private home, where she usually spends the weekends, and as a royal residence at which she performs certain formal duties. Every year the Queen takes up official residence in Windsor Castle for a month over Easter (March---April), known as Easter Court. During that time the Queen hosts occasional “dine and sleep” events for guests, including politicians and public figures. The Queen is also in residence for a week in June, when she attends the service of the Order of the Garter and the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting. Windsor Castle is often used by the Queen to host State Visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. Foreign Heads of State enter the Castle in horse-drawn carriages through the George IV Gateway into the quadrangle(四方院）in the Upper Ward, where a military guard of honour is drawn up. The traditional State Banquet is held in St George’s Hall(55.5 metres long and 9 metres wide), with a table seating up to 160 guests. St George’s Chapel remains an active centre for worship (礼拜）, with daily services open to all. The Chapel, together with the remainder of the College of St George, is governed by the Dean and Canons of Windsor, who, with their officers and staff, are independent of the Royal Household. Various departments of the Royal Household are based at Windsor Castle. The ancient Round Tower houses the Royal Archives and the Royal Photograph Collection. The Print Room and the Royal Library house valuable drawings, prints and books in the Royal Collection. These are shown in a programme of changing exhibitions in the Castle’s Drawing Callery. Winds
