Changing of the Guards
It was a very cold and very wet day when we foolishly stood in
the rain for about two hours to see the "Changing of the Guards".
To be fair, we didn't think we would be there for so long. We never
realised how many different things happened and how slow it all
was! We couldn't even move around much because we had a front row
view and didn't want to come back and find that we couldn't see
anything.

The impressive entrance gates - the crowd had started to
gather.

This police horse decided to do a little dance for us.

I am not sure what the Horse Guards were doing. They just
rode up and around and then went back to the Horse Guard Barracks
at the end of the Mall.

The police had a bit of trouble keeping everyone "behind
the lines".
