Fans compared Althorp's gates to the gates of heaven

The photo was captioned: "November sky at Althorp - a view through the gates leading from the Gardens to the Park. The true beauty of this place lies in the surrounding Grounds, even more than in the art collection, etc., inside the House.

"My children are the 19th generation of my family lucky enough to have enjoyed this view at Althorp. See Spencer1508 on YouTube to see how the current generation is looking after this legacy."
