Trials, speeches and lying-in-state
168slotxo เอ็กโอ วอลเลท is one of the most popular online slot games because there is a competition to compete for the big jackpot.
Built in 1097, it is a huge building that has played a significant role in British history across the centuries.
It has hosted the trials of Charles I and Guy Fawkes, Henry VIII's coronation banquet and a Nelson Mandela speech.
The hall survived a devastating fire in the 19th Century that destroyed most of the rest of the Palace of Westminster.
The building of Westminster Hall was commissioned by King William II - the son of William the Conqueror - who wanted a significant construction project to impress his new subjects. Its stone walls were about 6ft (2m) thick and remain largely intact today, albeit extended in height and refaced during processes of restoration.
It acted as a banqueting hall - though was so large other smaller halls had to be built nearby for some occasions, with the royal household usually eating in one of those.
From the 12th Century, Westminster became the administrative centre of the kingdom and the base for the Treasury.
The hall became the most common site for legal proceedings under the Magna Carta, in 1215, which stipulated there should be a fixed place where judges should sit.
That led to it being the location for the trials of Guy Fawkes - for plotting to blow up Parliament in 1606 - and of King Charles I.
