Queen Camilla unveils foundation stone for £13m Westminster Abbey sacristy

Site once used by 13th-century monks will be transformed into main visitor entrance

Eight centuries after Henry III rebuilt Westminster Abbey as the gothic landmark it remains today, Queen Camilla has unveiled the foundation stone for a building on the medieval footprint of a long-lost sacristy.

The King Charles III sacristy will offer state-of-the-art welcoming, ticketing and security facilities for the abbey.
