In the 1360s Edward III, who was born at Windsor, extended the Castle. He created the immense St. George's Hall for the use of the Knights of his newly founded Order of the Garter. The traditional State Banquet is held in St George's Hall (55.5m long and 9m wide), with a table seating up to 160 guests. The banquet is normally held on the evening of the first day of the State Visit. The table can be set for 160 guests. The staff use rulers to measure each place setting so that the table will look neat. The 1992 Windsor Castle fire occurred on Friday, 20 November 1992 in Windsor Castle. The castle suffered severe damage in a fire, which destroyed some of the most historic parts of the building. The fire was finally under control, having burnt for nine hours, although it continued to burn for a further three hours. The fire had spread rapidly due to lack of fire stopping in cavities and roof voids. Over one million gallons (4,500 tons) of water from Castle mains and from the River Thames had been used in fighting the fire. St George's Hall partially survived, with the wall largely intact, but with the ceiling collapsed. The State Dining Room (in the Prince of Wales Tower; which was badly damaged, as was the fabric of the tower), and the Grand Reception Room (80% severely damaged, though 20% of the ceiling was eventually saved) were also devastated. New designs for St George's Hall (the principal reception room in the palace), and The Queen's Private Chapel, were approved by The Queen on 24 January 1995. The new roof for St George's Hall is an example of a hammer-beam ceiling. A hammerbeam roof allows a span greater than the length of any individual piece of timber. Hammerbeam roofs can exert considerable thrust on the walls that support them. St George's Hall, Windsor Castle Berkshire, UK
