It has been the venue of important events, such as Winston Churchill's funeral or wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.The major attraction of the cathedral is its large dome, consisting of three circular galleries. We found the Whispering Gallery, located at 30 meters high and the Stone Gallery, which offers a nice view from the outside of the dome, but these are outweighed by the Gold Gallery, located at 85 meters high.
