Back in May of '93 there were tours of the castle...there was a clear plastic partition where you could look into St. George's Hall...it was utter devastation. So glad to see it looking so beautiful.

Heartbreaking!  I visited Windsor Castle in 1985 and was overwhelmed by its immense beauty and grandeur!  So much indescribable history.

I was honored to walk the corridors of Windsor Castle this past July, and had to pinch myself to remind me that I was able to see the restored section that was tragically burned many years ago.  How fortunate it was that many people worked together to salvage as much as they could.  There is a marker in the spot where the fire started...it's a very emotional reminder to say the least.

As an American, I can only say I am so happy the Brits saved what they could.  The history they saved is not just for the UK, but for the entire world.  I'm so happy things worked out well for you after this tragedy.   We Americans love our brothers and sisters in the United Kingdom.  We love you all

Who knew Retrievers could sniff out dry rot? Excellent work! What a lovely doggy that one must've been.

God Bless the craftsmen that kept and are keeping ancient skills,  secret tricks, ancient knowledge and traditions alive.  I hope young people,  will be inspired by this,  as to become the restoration experts of the future.   With so much destruction,  to put back what was destroyed is a splendid badge of honor.

what a wonderful documentary, amazing to see what can be achieved when all parties work together collectively on a united front, Britain strongest accolade, fantastic to see true artisans from the all corners of the land, I very much hope younger apprentices had an opportunity to experience these great works.
Windsor Castle is of course of great national importance, how fantastic it was to see its restoration following the fire was by the skills and determination of its people

Absolutely very worthwhile.  Well done Andrew for saving so much, well done Phillip and Charles  for making key decisions on the rebuild .  And very well done for all those who          donated  to the rebuild of a major institution

Thank you for this documentary. I have worried for years wondering if anything was saved from the fire. Thankfully a lot was saved and much has been restored.

Excellent documentary.  
I love the fact that skilled workers were appreciated.   I’m glad to see that England appreciates Windsor Castle.  It’s a treasure to be preserved.

This so interesting! I'm from Texas and I must have missed this when it made news. So thankful that all the History was saved! Such great work by everybody, including the Royal Family.

Wow people really working together 😀

All this what stands out is the specialist plasterer doing his job with lab coat and tie. Amazing pride in his craft and the subject.

I was delighted that they used as many of the old techniques as possible -- especially the green wood for the joists.

thank you so much for uploading this video.  I had never seen this one before.  Much respect to all those that worked on saving the castle, as well as the marvelous restoration.

They should be very proud to have worked and restored one of our works of arts such as Windsor castle well done

Very good job. Seeing this gives me hope that Notre dame also might recieve this kind of restoration. With skilled craftsmen and attention to the important details.

Thanks soo much for this upload! I love when I’m able to find good documentaries here on YouTube 👏❤️👍

I’m just blown away they still had craftsmen and artisans who could still do this kind of work

the most important thing was no lives were lost
