The castle is situated on a hill overlooking the countryside and dominating the skyline of the City of Windsor. When the Queen (or King) is resident at the castle, the royal standard is flown from the masthead of the main tower. In 1993 there was a disastrous fire at Windsor Castle, destroying generations of royal collections, paintings and significant parts of the historic monument. Queen Elizabeth undertook repairs and restoration of the castle and in 1997, celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary there with a state dinner - giving the world its first view of the restoration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo commemorate this gala evening a special tea was served.
