Buckingham Palace is to undergo a 10-year refurbishment costing the taxpayer £369m, the Treasury has announced.

The Queen will remain in residence during the work, to begin next April.

Ageing cables, lead pipes, wiring and boilers will be replaced, many for the first time in 60 years, owing to fears about potential fire and water damage.

Tony Johnstone-Burt, Master of the Queen's Household, said phased works offered the "best value for money" while keeping the palace running.

Apparently our Liz is having a make over at her place

Buckingham Palace to undergo 'essential' £370m refurbishment

It makes me so proud to think despite the NHS being on its arse, people on benefits are getting a £30 per week cut and of course a £25 billion whole in the budget thanks to brexit we can always find money for our queenie god bless her. It's heart breaking to think that her and Phil and the rest of the family has been living in squalor for so long (I think I'm going to have a Wayne Bridge moment now and cry!!!).

I'd have thought you would be made up that there's some money going in to much needed council house refurbishment.
