Westminster Abbey opens major new exhibition space Used as a storage space for hundreds of years, a new exhibition space at Westminster Abbey was unveiled on Tuesday. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries now house priceless treasures from the Abbey’s collection, while a tower to provide access is the first major addition to the fabric of the Abbey since the west towers were added in 1745. The space opens to the public on 11 June 2018. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES*REFILING to add additional shots
