Changing of the Royal Guards

 This was a total fluke thing. Not planned, just happened to be in the right place at the right time. 






For info.....

Changing the Guard, also known as Guard Mounting, takes place outside Buckingham Palace every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

The Buckingham Palace Old Guard forms in the palace's forecourt from 10.30am and is joined by the St James's Palace Old Guard at about 10.45am.

The New Guard then arrives from Wellington Barracks and takes over the responsibilities of the Old Guard in a formal ceremony accompanied by music. The ceremony lasts about 45 minutes, with the actual handover taking place at 11am.


Below is Buckingham Palace, where the King lives in his 600 some rooms.  I was very surprised at the number of people who were there to watch. It was quite impressive.
