Fire broke out at Windsor Castle on November 22 1992. It destroyed 115 rooms including nine State Rooms. The fire started in Queen Victoria’s Private Chapel, where a faulty spotlight ignited a curtain next to the altar. Within minutes the blaze had spread to St George’s Hall next door. The fire was first spotted around 11.30am. Three hours later 225 firemen from seven counties were battling flames. (photo: Getty Images)
