During the summer, the Changing of the Guard takes place at the front of the Palace and is a popular event for visitors to the capital.
Since 1660, Household Troops have guarded the Sovereign and the Royal Palaces.
The Queen's Guard usually consists of Foot Guards in full-dress uniform of red tunics and bearskins.
The Changing of the Guard takes place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 every day in summer, every other day in winter, and lasts about 45 minutes.
The New Guard marches to the Palace from Wellington Barracks with a Guards band, the Old Guard hands over in a ceremony during which the sentries are changed and then returns to barracks.
The New Guard then marches to St James's Palace leaving the detachment at Buckingham Palace. |
